The past is long gone; you must not cling to it any longer.

Having stood fast yesterday, today you should give God your sincere loyalty;

moreover, you should bear good testimony for God tomorrow,

and you will inherit His blessings in the future.

This is what you should understand.

Though God is not present before you,

His Spirit will surely confer grace upon you.

God hopes that you will treasure His blessings

and, relying on them, be able to know yourselves.

Do not take them to be your capital;

rather, you should use God’s words to fill what is lacking in you,

and from this derive your positive elements.

This is the message God bequeaths to you!
