We eagerly await the coming of our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will give a new form to this lowly body of ours and remake it according to the pattern of his glorified body, by his power to subject everything to himself. (Philippians 3:20b-21) Be patient, my brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer awaits the precious yield of the soil. He looks forward to it patiently while the soil receives the winter and the spring rains. You too, must be patient. Steady your hearts, because the coming of the Lord is at hand. Do not grumble against one another, my brothers, lest you be condemned. See! The judge stands at the gate. As your models in suffering hardships and in patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Those who have endured we call blessed. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and have seen what the Lord, who is compassion and merciful, did in the end. (James 5:7-11)
When the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us; not because of any righteous deeds we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the baptism of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit he lavished on us through Jesus Christ our Savior, that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs, in hope, of eternal life. (Titus 3:4-7)

Ponder in your heart |
At the moment we came into the world, God called one of His great princes, a glorious angel, and bade him guard and guide us. He bade him devote all his angelic power, all his wisdom and love to helping us, to keeping us from harm and defending us against all dangers. This angel loves us with unspeakably great love, first of all because God has given us to his care; secondly, because he loves us himself with all the strength and love of his angelic nature; thirdly, because we are in ourselves things so surpassingly lovely. We wonder, in reading the story of Tobias, when we see how good God was to send him the Angel Raphel to accompany him on his journey and obtain for him many great benefits. Much more should we wonder that each one of us has a glorious Angel as companion, not for a week or a month, but for all our lives, an Angel who gives us all his care. He never leaves us; he obtains for us all kinds of graces and saves us from countless dangers. It is because our souls are so perfect, so dear to Him that God gives us this Angel all to ourselves, to protect us, to help us, to love us. Yet many Christians do not realize the favor God has done them in giving them this glorious Angel to watch over them. They never thank their Angel for all he is ever doing for them, nor for the dangers he saves them from, nor do they call on him for help which he is only too ready to give them in their difficulties. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
