What verse made an impact to you today?

3. The verse that made impact on me today is the verse 20, "The secret of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven gold lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels[y] of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands[z] are the seven churches."
