I'm reminded of the great value of our righteousness - that is, our right-standing with God, and the privilege of forever being in His presence.

We abide in the Lord, we are washed by the Word, and we are preserved by His mercy and His truth.

It just, helps.

What else is there to do but to revel in His presence, and allow Him to continue to move us from glory to glory, each and every day?

What do I have to show for myself?

Meditate on His Word, and be filled with life.

The world is cruel... but God's lovingkindness ultimately endures.

Time to reflect. Time to pray.
