Rev 21:1-8

I'll stress some of the takeaways:
-am i readying myself along with the church to be a "bride of Christ"?
-do I draw close to God?
-is my perspective that pain and sorrow will one day pass?
-do i recognize God's power to remake everything as new?
-do I seek God to refuel my spirit?
-do I see myself as His son?
-am I a coward?

it's interesting that the cowardly (listed first no less!) is lumped in with the unbelieving, vile, murderers, sexually immoral, magicians, idolators, and liars. So cowardice is a sin then. Wow - so I guess the lesson is to live a courageous life.
