    Zephaniah 3:  Jerusalem will be told: "Don't be afraid. Dear Zion, don't despair. Your God is present among you, a strong Warrior there to save you.

    Philippians 4:  Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

    Luke 3 But John intervened: "I'm baptizing you here in the river. The main character in this drama, to whom I'm a mere stagehand, will ignite the kingdom life, a fire, the Holy Spirit within you, changing you from the inside out.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.
    I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey …

    I asked for health, that I might do great things.
    I was given infirmity, that I might do better things …

    I asked for riches, that I might be happy.
    I was given poverty, that I might be wise …

    I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.
    I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God …

    I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.
    I was given life, that I might enjoy all things …

    I got nothing I asked for—but everything I had hoped for.
    Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

    I am, among men, most richly blessed”

    ― Confederate soldier

    Ezekiel 34: Thus says the Lord God: From now on, I myself am the shepherd.  As shepherds go after their flocks when they get scattered, I’m going after my sheep.   I’ll rescue them from all the places they’ve been scattered. 

    James:  You can no more show me your works apart from your faith, than I can show you my faith apart from my works.  Faith and works, works and faith—they fit together hand in glove.

    Luke 17: Whenever you did one of these things to the least of my sisters and brothers—that was me.  You did it to me.
