To Sara Belk, a mother, a thespian, a theologian,
a friend, a woman extraordinaire
… Do not lose heart … Outward man is perishing, yet inward man is being renewed day by day … We do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16–1
