Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. - Romans 5

Definitely one of the most powerful endings in anime history.

An ending before its time.
One revealings the consequences of war, especially on children.
Every child here represents thousands in the real world.
In Syria, in Iraq, in North Korea, in Africa, in Chicago.
Children who are hungry.
Children who are in pain.
Children who long to be loved.
 These are the children I pray for every week.
Some I even know their names, their stories.

Lord have mercy on them.
I know that the horrors of the world will never end as long as humans sin,
