| SCRIPTURE In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. Romans 8: 26-27 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see... And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exist and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11: 1,6 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all you heart and with all you soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Matthew 22: 34-39 Do not store up for yourselves treasure on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for youselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6: 19-21 Many are the plan's in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19: 21 And we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not dissapoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5: 3-5 Blessed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty. For he wounds, but he also binds up; he injures, but his hands also heal. Job 5: 17-18 Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. Philippians 4:8 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails... And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8, 13 Let love be your greatest aim. 1 Corinthians 14:1 TLB Whoever forgives an offense seeks love, but whoever keeps bringing up the issue separates the closest of friends. Proverbs 17:9 A motive in the human heart is like deep water, and a person who has understanding draws it out Proverbs 20:5 Perfume and incense make the heart glad, but the sweetness of a friend is a fragrant forest Proverbs 27:9 Silver hair is a beautiful crown found in a righteous life. Proverbs 19:20 This is my command: Love each other. John 15:17 Home 1 2 |
