Scripture is God-breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry the good news of Jesus with us wherever we go.
For the last three weeks of this plan, we’ll memorize our second key verse, 2 Corinthians 5:17. This week, we’ll memorize the second part of 2 Corinthians 5:17, the joyful proclamation that God’s work to make all things new is present here and now.
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!
—2 Corinthians 5:17

Thank you @Searching for your prayers!! ♥️
@Sarah D- yay!! Happy you got your 5k goal met!! Praise God. I definitely love that verse in relation to running our race. I’m sure @Mari V thinks of it often, too while running ;)
Amen
At church today, the minister titled his message, “Jesus is coming again.” I was, like, “Yeah, you right!” He went on to say that we believe in the imminent return of Jesus. (Many people say it is not bad enough yet.) I say…. “Come, Lord Jesus!”
However, I remember Pastor Jack Hibbs (I think), saying on a podcast once, “Aren’t you glad that He didn’t come back before you were saved?” Yes and ouch! We have so many others to reach out to with His message of salvation!
The NEW has come! Thank you Jesus! Its cold and rainy here in SUNNY California. Not my favorite, however we need the rain. I need the motivation to get up, and dress for church. Not looking forward to the errands I have to run afterwards in the rain, but oh well, I need to do it as it involves a delicious soup that I will make for my family and it certainly fits the weather today. Happy Sunday sweet She’s!
CHERYL BLOW… a small group of us memorized Philippians a few years ago. (The first three chapters were easier than the last one! The end of the book was such a struggle I think I need to get back to that!) That is one of my fave verses. I agree with you that it is difficult to find ourselves in the “not yet”, but I also agree with you that we have a promise from Him… it’s coming!
Have a blessed Sunday, sweet She’s!
KELLY (NEO) & CEE GEE – joining you in loving those verses Kelly shared from Isaiah ❤️
Again sharing a BG verse of day, Ps 18:1-2
I will love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
ROBIN REALI – welcome!
KAREN ELIZABETH- praying for continued healing for Kai
MERCY ❤️ so true about our intentions. Praying for restoration of the relationship with your brother. I have prayed for and seen relationships restored between family members when I thought it would never happen.
MARI V ❤️ praying for the dynamic between you and your mom. You mentioned long time issues, and those are part of what I have had to lay down in relationships – especially with family. It’s hard, but I keep reminding myself that I can only change myself ….
MICHELLE PATIRE – praying for you and your family ❤️
SEARCHING, thank you again. It went very well! I kept it simple and to the point, and when she started to mention this and that I just gently told her, I’m here to apologize. She is an amazing mother, and she loves Jesus, us, her kids, and her grandchildren. But like all of us, we all have issues we need to work through. That’s between her and God, and like you said we can only change ourselves. I can only change myself. 
This verse comes to mind today.
”Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,“
Philippians 3:13 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/php.3.13.NIV
We haven’t attained it yet but we keep on persevering until we reach our goal in Christ Jesus! He makes all things new. We just need to keep our eyes on Jesus.
♥️
Amen. Thank You ABBA!
The OLD has passed away, and SEE, the NEW has come! (Emphasis mine)
KELLY NEO – I have always loved “Do you not see?” in that verse. I envision this breathless excitement!
Timely that I just saw a Bible study on Faith Gateway recently called “Don’t Look Back” based on Lot’s wife.
SARAH D – What an answer to prayer; so glad you were able to accomplish that!!! ❤
Lots to do before church so I have to scoot! Praying each of you has a blessed worship time today either in person or online. Praying for all needs! ❤
Amen, may it be so!
The new has come! Just as God promised:
“Do not remember the past events;
pay no attention to things of old.
Look, I am about to do something new;
even now it is coming. Do you not see it?
Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert” (Isa 43:18-19).
MERCY ❤️
MUNCHKIN – hope you get to attend your local church today
CHERRIE BREWER – hi❣️
