Hebrews 13:1-3 โ€“ "Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering."

Wow, this really hit home. ๐Ÿ’ฅ Itโ€™s like this quote was written specifically for me. I canโ€™t even begin to explain how relevant this is to my current situation. Itโ€™s incredible how words can be so transformativeโ€”they have the power to shift perspectives and make you think differently about lifeโ€™s challenges. Iโ€™ll be reflecting on this for a while because it has really opened my eyes and given me the strength to keep moving forward.

Revelation 21:1-4 โ€“ "Then I saw โ€˜a new heaven and a new earth,โ€™ for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, โ€˜Look! Godโ€™s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.โ€™"
