S ~ Does anyone remember this house—this Temple—in its former splendor? How, in comparison, does it look to you now? It must seem like nothing at all!  But now the Lord says: Be strong, Zerubbabel. Be strong, Jeshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people still left in the land. And now get to work, for I am with you, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.  My Spirit remains among you, just as I promised when you came out of Egypt. So do not be afraid.’ Haggai 2:3-5

O ~ Even though it looked like nothing, compared to what was, they were to be strong and get to work, because even though so much rubble remained, the Lord's Spirit remained among them.

A ~ The Garden was quite the church. Such a powerful centre of worship under GRW, and such a lighthouse under ATM. It was also such a hard time for G&MW - and now here I am. I look at what was, and I look at what is - and I think it reflects on me and the lack of what I have accomplished. I love the people - they are wonderful. It's not their fault. 

P ~ Lord Jesus, please use me to help usher in a new season of Your glory filling our church. May I be strong, and get to work - for Your Spirit remains with me.
