- May the Holy Spirit open your eyes to see the God who has made and judged the earth. And may you see Jesus as the one who is coming to judge evil and establish a new earth of righteousness for all people. In 2 Peter 3, we see that God is patiently waiting, not because he's indifferent to our suffering but because he wants everyone to repent.
