Narrative Lectionary Key Verse for Today
“For I am about to create new heavens
and a new earth;
the former things shall not be remembered
or come to mind.”
NL Daily Devotion for Saturday, December 18, 2021

But what if I want to remember? I mean, at least the good things. I imagine here God is saying that all the terrible things of the world will pass away. That individual, collective, and generational trauma will be completely healed and we shall all be free of it.
In the mean time, we need to remember. Remember our past history and our present climate and all the evil that we have done. Otherwise, we will continue to repeat them.
How do I imagine a new heaven and a new earth?
