Trust

Romans 10:11: As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”

Jesus doesn't dupe anybody.

Faith

Matthew 17:20 "So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."

Our faith can move mountains!

Fear

Proverbs 3:25-26 (New King James Version)

Do not be afraid of sudden terror,
Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;
For the LORD will be your confidence,
And will keep your foot from being caught.

Danger: It's not as powerful as it wants you to believe.

[Shepherd01]

Life

John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

Which way are you gonna choose...

Praise

Hebrews 13:15 "Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise - the fruit of lips that confess his name."


Nike praise - just do it!

The Future

Psalm 37:10-11 (New King James Version)
For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, you will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more.
But the meek shall inherit the earth,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Actually, the Good Guy does always win!

[Shepherd01]

Patience

Hebrews 6:11-12 "And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises."

God's delays are not God's denials...

Patience

Luke 21:17-19 (New King James Version)
And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But not a hair of your head shall be lost. By your patience possess your souls.

Stay focused, and stick it out .

Hebrews 6:11-12 "And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises."

This one touched me...

Gift

John 10:10 "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."

The gift that goes on giving...

True Love

Isaiah 40:11 "He will feed His flock like a shepherd;
He will gather the lambs with His arm,
And carry them in His bosom,
And gently lead those who are with young."

He will love you like no other!

[Kalnozoli Kate]

"Now this is eternal life: [color=#80BF00]that they may [b]KNOW you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."

To know Him is to love Him.
