Great Things: GREAT THINGS FOR ME

And from his fulness have we all received,

GRACE UPON GRACE.

For the law was given through Moses;

grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

JOHN 1:16-17

God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all things, always having all you need, you may have an abundance for every good work (2 Cor 9:8).

SUPPLY

The one who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness (2 Cor 9:10).

You are being enriched in every way for all generosity, which through us produces thanksgiving to God (2 Cor 9:11).

ABOUT THINGS

Great Things

Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it. (John 14:12-14)

The proof of love is in the works. Where love exists, it works great things. But when it ceases to act, it ceases to exist. -- Pope St. Gregory the Great

Everything

My Lord and my God, take from me everything that distances me from you. My Lord and my God, give me everything that brings me closer to you. My Lord and my God, detach me from myself to give my all to you. -- St. Nicholas of Flüe

Former Things

"For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind." (Is 65:17)

One Thing

The Lord said to her in reply, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.” (Lk 10:41-42)

Something Greater

"I say to you, something greater than the temple is here." (Mt. 12:6)

"Something greater than Solomon is here." (Lk 11:31)

"Something greater than Jonah is here." (Lk 11:32)

Be Glad and Rejoice

But be glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and be glad in my people; no more shall be heard in it the sound of weeping and the cry of distress. (Is 65:18-19)

GOD'S PROMISE

No more shall there be in it an infant that lives but a few days, or an old man who does not fill out his days, for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed. (Is 65:20)

They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. (Is 65:21)

Things Accomplished

Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been accomplished among us, just as they were delivered to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you that you may know the truth concerning the things of which you have been informed. -- Luke 1:1-4
