Ponder These Words. They are so Important!
“Every act of love, gratitude and kindness; every work of art or music inspired by the love of God and delight in the beauty of his creation; every minute spent teaching a severely handicapped child to read or to walk; every act of care and nurture, of comfort and support, for one’s fellow human beings and for that matter one’s nonhuman creatures; and of course every prayer, all Spirit-led teaching, every deed that spreads the Gospel, builds up the church, embraces and embodies holiness rather than corruption, and makes the name of Jesus honored in the world—all of this will find its way, through the resurrecting power of God, into the new creation that God will one day make. by N.T. Wright Surprised by Hope
Everything good contributes to the new creation, the new heaven and new earth, to be fulfilled when Christ comes again. We start, right now, to anticipate that perfection. Nothing is wasted. What we do is the beginning, no matter how small it is.
