bounding over the hills.[17] Until the day breathes

or a young stag upon rugged mountains.

I Peter 1: 3-9

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade-kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may hae had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.."

Lord bless,

..Nestor..

I really love the Book of Ruth in the Old Testament and especially these words:

But Ruth replied, "Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go...Your people will be my people and your God my God." ...So Naomi returned ...accompanied by Ruth...arriving ...as the barley havest was beginning. Ruth 1:16, 22 (NIV)

1 Corinthians 6:17 > Wherefore come out from the midst of them, and be separated, saith [the] Lord, and touch not [what is] unclean, and *I* will receive you;
18 > and I will be to you for a Father, and ye shall be to me for sons and daughters, saith [the] Lord Almighty.
7:1 > Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in God's fear.

Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

The day that I so eagerly await

Cor 13:12 For now we see in a mirror obscurely, but at that time face to face; now I know in part, but at that time I will fully know even as also I was fully known.

Quite a few but I really like this one.

2 Corinthians 4: 7-10

But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed, perplexed but not driven to despair; persecuted but not forsaken, struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our bodies.

 

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

I love how everything in the bible is in patterns to show us examples

But to Your name give glory
Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.

Psalm 23

Before reading Traveling Light by Max Lucado I didn't really think about it. But after Traveling Light I have a whole new outlook.

I purchased a bunch of copies of that book to hand out.
