we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture...
For the LORD is good; His steadfast love endures forever,
and His faithfulness to all generations..."
-Psalm 100
"Let this be recorded for a generation to come,
so that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD;
that He looked down from His holy height;
from heaven the LORD looked at the earth,
to hear the groans of the prisoners,
to set free those who were doomed to die,
that they may declare in Zion the name of the LORD,
and in Jerusalem His praise,
when peoples gather together, and kingdoms, to worship the LORD...
Of old You laid the foundation of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
They will perish, but You will remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
You will change them like a robe,
and they will pass away,
but You are the same, and Your years have no end." - Psalm 102
"Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not His benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems you life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's...
The LORD is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love...
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is His steadfast love toward those who fear Him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far does He remove our transgressions from us.
As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear Him.
But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him."- Psalm 103
"CEASE STRIVING, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" - Psalm 46:10
"Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she has a sister called Mary, who sat the the Lord's feet and listened to His teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving....the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her." - Luke 10:38-42
"The Kingdom of heaven is like a TREASURE hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his JOY, he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field." - Matthew 13:44
"'Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?' And He said to them, 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment." - Matthew 22:36-38
Lord, by Your goodness and mercy and grace, make this the truth of my heart...that it may compell and control me in such a great way, that You look as worthy as You are.
