some things on my heart tonight...
all NIV, for all that matters. maybe tomorrow i'll translate myself.
*****
Psalm 147:3
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
*****
Psalm 42:8
By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me-a prayer to the God of my life.
*****
Zephaniah 3:17
The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.
*****
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
*****
Romans 8:38-39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
*****
1 Corinthians 8:3
But the man who loves God is known by God.
*****
Ephesians 3:16-19
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
*****
1 John 3:10 (honestly, all of 1 John 3 and 4:7-19 is about love. don't believe me? it's right ~*over here*~ and ~*here*~ . i just chose this one because, while i do love my brother, i don't really want to right now)
This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.
*****
grace to you all, and peace
you are in my heart and my prayers
