1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
5He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
6He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. 8But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
Revelation 21:1-8
i had finally finish reading all 7 books in the Narnian series by this morning. the content of the daily devotion today strangely coincides with the story in the last book which speaks about a new Narnia that is mentioned in revelation 21.
i felt much better today. will be reading LOTR that i borrowed from grace starting from tonight. i shall share openly from now on without being bothered by how other ppl think. i shall love myself more. if i can't even overcome myself, how am i going to overcome the other things in my life.
hanley smsed me last night to ask me how i was. in his last sms he said, " don't forget about the rest of us bro." yup, thanks for the reminder bro. last night, my hope was at an all time low. i felt like i was fighting a losing battle. thankfully, the new day has renewed the hope in me again.
below is a picture of a weed that is growing in one of my pot of orchid. it doesn't look as aristocratically elegant as an orchid flower but it is still beautiful in its cheery yellow colour. for your info, this flower is only 3mm across. god is perfect to the smallest detail even in his tiniest creation. =)
