we are [as I was saying] of good courage and confident hope, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. Therefore, whether we are at home [on earth] or away from home [and with Him], it is our [constant] ambition to be pleasing to Him. For we [believers will be called to account and] must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be repaid for what has been done in the body, whether good or bad [that is, each will be held responsible for his actions, purposes, goals, motives—the use or misuse of his time, opportunities and abilities]. Therefore, since we know the fear of the Lord [and understand the importance of obedience and worship], we persuade people [to be reconciled to Him]. But we are plainly known to God [He knows everything about us]; and I hope that we are plainly known also in your consciences [your God-given discernment].

As our seasons change, our God remains constant. Over four days, we want to examine how the Lord provides for His people at all times, regardless of the worries, disappointments, and missed expectations that come in this world.
In today’s world, it’s vital to remember where we’re ultimately going to end up, so we can be a shining light and unafraid. If you’re born again, you’re headed for heaven when you leave this earth! So keep your eyes on the prize and keep your joy. It’s time to live in God’s peace and boldly tell others how they, too, can make heaven their eternal home.
