'...our Savior, our Helper, Jesus Christ - He is truly faithful, even when we are faithless.'

He has not let my foes rejoice over me.

'Because of all He has done, He is King of Kings, Lord of Lords, the Firstborn presiding over what I call the Empire of all Empires...'

'there seems to be a need for us, in this selfish and anxious world, and in this turbulent and fearful reality, to give thanks.'

'if you want some sort of success, you don't have to look too far.'

"this Temple of the Holy Spirit will continue to proclaim the goodness of God - in my greatest victories, and in my darkest of failures."

"it's in giving thanks that I recognize that I may not see everything, but God does - and He is for me, and never against me."

'My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in your weakness.'

Take some time to understand this and appreciate it. The old has passed, and the new has come.

Christ is our Good Shepherd who not only brings us to peace; No, the Good Shepherd is also the Prince of Peace.
