Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand."
~Psalm 139:17-18~
Jesus said, "As the Father has loved me, so have
I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you
obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just
as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain
in his love. I have told you this so that my joy
may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
My command is this: Love each other as I
have loved you. Greater love has no one than
this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You
are my friends if you do what I command.
I no longer call you servants,
because a servant does not know his master's
business. Instead, I have called you friends,
for everything that I learned from my Father
I have made known to you. You did not choose
me, but I chose you and appointed you to go
and bear fruit—fruit that will last.Then the Father
will give you whatever you ask in my name.
This is my command: Love each other."
~John 15:9-17~
"Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.
Selah"~Psalm 62:5-8~
O love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul
in Thee; I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be. —Matheson
*Your loving heavenly Father never takes
His eyes off you.*
I never walk alone, Christ walks beside me,
He is the dearest Friend I've ever known;
With such a Friend to comfort and to guide me,
I never, no, I never walk alone. —Ackley
*God's presence with us is one of His presents to us.*
"When we are feeling all alone and no one
seems to care, we must remember: Jesus said
That He is always there." —Sper
