I am coming soon (Rev. 22:20) "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. (Rev 22:12) That’s just a fantastic way to close the Bible.

The indescribable gifts
The indescribable gifts And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! (2 Cor 9:14).

Everything will be all right!
Everything will be all right! “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose,” (Rom 8:28-29). Comfort! Take comfort in the thought that God Almighty guarantees that your future is secure. God is at work in our lives, on our case, in our congregation, with our plans, aspirations and dreams. He assures us, the outcome of our future will be good. I know it doesn’t look that now, but God is outside of no
