“For this is the original message we heard: We should love each other.” 1 John 3:11

reason to live!

“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person's failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.” John 3:16

Soldier

Where did all the people go?
they got scared when the lights went low.
I get you through it nice and slow,
when the world's spinning out of control.

Afraid of what they might lose
might get scraped or they might get bruised.
You can beg on what's the use
that's why it's called the moment of truth

I'd get it if you need it,
I'll search if you don't see it,
you're thirsty, I'll be your rain,
you get hurt, I'll take your pain.

I know you don't believe it,
but i said it and i still mean it,
when you heard what i told you,
when you get worried I'll be your soldier.

Funny when times get hard,
at the last moment when it's supposed to charge,
we are always on the longest yard,
oh they feel their feet get cold.

Hiding here, hiding there,
find them underneath the stairs,
people hiding everywhere,
trying to be still like a stone.

My aim is so true,
I wanna show you,
I'll try forever,
I'm never gonna say "surrender"

The only journey is the journey within.

“[Love for Enemies] “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” Matthew 5:43-45

so comforting to know i've got this big guy looking out for me.♥

“God loves all who hate evil, And those who love him he keeps safe, Snatches them from the grip of the wicked.” Psalm 97:10

“Whoever goes hunting for what is right and kind finds life itself—glorious life!” Proverbs 21:21

“For God's Word is solid to the core; everything he makes is sound inside and out. He loves it when everything fits, when his world is in plumb-line true. Earth is drenched in God's affectionate satisfaction.” Psalm 33:4-5

where would i be without you?

“I love you, God— you make me strong. God is bedrock under my feet, the castle in which I live, my rescuing knight. My God—the high crag where I run for dear life, hiding behind the boulders, safe in the granite hideout.” Psalm 18:1-2

For you've been a safe place for me, a good place to hide. Strong God, I'm watching you do it, I can always count on you— God, my dependable love.  Psalm 59:16

uncertainty

“We, of course, have plenty of wisdom to pass on to you once you get your feet on firm spiritual ground, but it's not popular wisdom, the fashionable wisdom of high-priced experts that will be out-of-date in a year or so. God's wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes. You don't find it lying around on the surface. It's not the latest message, but more like the oldest—what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us, long before we ever arrived on the scene. The experts of our day haven't a clue about what this eternal plan is. If they had, they wouldn't have killed the Master of the God-designed life on a cross. That's why we have this Scripture text: No one's ever seen or heard anything like this, Never so much as imagined anything quite like it— What God has arranged for those who love him. But you've seen and heard it because God by his Spirit has brought it all out into the open before you.” 1 Corinthians 2:9

"God, our God! God the one and only! Love God, your God, with your whole heart: love him with all that's in you, love him with all you've got!” Deuteronomy 6:4-5
