| | All is new, changed into good, beauty and truth; there are no more tears or mourning… This is the work of the Holy Spirit: he brings us the new things of God. |
| |
|
| | all of us are journeying towards the heavenly Jerusalem, the ultimate newness which awaits us and all reality, the happy day when we will see the Lord’s face – that marvelous face, the most beautiful face of the Lord Jesus - and be with him for ever, in his love. |
| |
|
| | new things of God are not like the novelties of this world, all of which are temporary; they come and go, and we keep looking for more. |
| |
|
| | new things which God gives to our lives are lasting, not only in the future, when we will be with him, but today as well. |
| |
|
| | through us he also wants to transform the world in which we live. |
| |
|
| | difficulties and trials are part of the path that leads to God’s glory, just as they were for Jesus, who was glorified on the cross |
| |
|
| | We have the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome these trials! |
| |
|
| | Remain steadfast in the journey of faith, with firm hope in the Lord. This is the secret of our journey! |
| |
|
| | There are no difficulties, trials or misunderstandings to fear, provided we remain united to God as branches to the vine |
| |
|
| | God grants strength to our weakness, riches to our poverty, conversion and forgiveness to our sinfulness. |
| |
|
| | Christians were not chosen by the Lord for little things; push onwards toward the highest principles. Stake your lives on noble ideals |
