God remembers you. I know you may find that difficult to believe, but hear me: He remembers you. He has always remembered you!

Christ has redeemed our humanity from vanity and our time from illusion.

He's so good to give us the bitter moments of life that, in his mercy, keep us dependent on him, that remind us that this earth is not a believer's home, that so much "better" awaits us in every way. And he gives us the sweet moments to encourage us in our sanctification journey, to give us a taste of the eternal, of his goodness. He gives us both because he knows what we need better than we know ourselves. And his timing is always perfect. And aren't we grateful?

Heaven will be inherited by every man who has heaven in his soul.

Love is the only future God offers.

At the approach of a certain dark hour, the light of Heaven fills those who are quitting the light of Earth.

The presence of angels is an announcement of Paradise.

The goal of human life is not death but resurrection.

Hope proves a man deathless.

The hope of eternal life is not to be taken up upon slight grounds. It is a subject to be settled between God and your own soul; settled for eternity. A supposed hope, and nothing more, will prove your ruin.

This is God's work. Therefore it must be triumphant. There is no place for misgiving or despondency.

May the Lord bless us and keep us from all harm, and may God lead us to eternal life. Amen.
