Father, You are making things new, shaking up the ‘normal’ and pointing to the New Heaven and New Earth. Grant us a glimpse of the beauty You build, the peace You secure, and the future You promise believers. Time shortens with every tick of the clock before me. Unknown to anyone but You, there is a calendar entry for the wedding feast of the lamb. Captivate our hearts as the Bride of Christ. Bring us closer together and closer to you. Be glorified in the outcome, in the name and authority of Jesus, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” (Revelation 21: 1-2 ESV)
