The Last Word

See, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me, to repay all according to their deeds.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

Revelation 22:12, 13 NLT

I am the Omega, the Last—the Immortal, Ever-present, Unchanging God.

My Kingdom is coming—sin’s night will not restrain salvation’s dawn.

My promises will materialize—heaven’s perfect peace will last forever.

I will write the end of earth’s story and the beginning of eternity’s—

a never-ending story of unimaginable love.

Until then, Light beyond light illumines the winding road home.

Omniscient—My truth outweighs the trivial.

I am the Counselor, wisely guiding you through life’s perplexing maze.

Exercise uncommon sense to trust Me, and I will teach you how to live.

I reward humility with the incomparable perfection of My counsel.

Merciful—My tenderness out-loves the transgression.

I am the Wonderful One, helping you persevere in moral struggles.

My grace helps you succeed; My mercy helps you recover from defeat.

I reward repentance with the infinite pardon of My compassion.

Eternal—My tomorrow outlasts the temporary.

I am the Everlasting Father, stabilizing you in life’s changing situations.

Focus on the Bright Morning Star—you’ll see My face when night is over.

I reward hope with the inevitable promise of My coming.

Gracious—My tranquility outshines the turmoil.

I am the Prince of Peace, quieting you in the chaos of life’s trouble.

Do not wring your hands—fold them in prayer and I will care for you.

I reward prayer with the incomprehensible peace of my calm.

Almighty—My triumph outdoes the trembling.

I am the Mighty God, energizing you for battles with the evil one.

I reward trust with the inspiring pleasure of My company.

I spoke the first word—and darkness was dispelled by light.

I will have the last word—and guilt will be conquered by grace.
