1 John 4:9 NLT
God showed how much He loved us by sending His one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through Him.
God showed how much He loved us by sending His one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through Him.
He is so rich in kindness and grace that He purchased our freedom with the blood of His Son and forgave our sins.
Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from Him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates.
I take joy in doing your will, my God, for your instructions are written on my heart.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.
But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus–the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere–in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
“If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you”.
Better to have little, with fear for the Lord, than to have great treasure and inner turmoil.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
