I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
Come now, let us argue this out. Though your sins be as scarlet, they will be as white as snow. Though you be flushed as crimson, I will make you as white as wool.
And from behind you a voice shall say, "This is the way, walk in it," whether you would turn right or left.
A final word: put on the whole Armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tricks and snares of the devil, for we are not faighting a war of the flesh, but against the principalities of this world.
Those who do not hate their mothers and fathers, pick up their crosses and follow me are not worthy of me.
Maidens of Israel, do not awaken love before its time.
I am willing to act the fool to show my love for the Lord.
All you gotta do is believe in the One who sees
all your scars and bruises
and knows you're hurt and confused
but He's prayin you return so you don't burn
If you forgive only those who love you, what is the gain in that?
Her sins, and they are many, are forgotten. To whom much has been given, much will be asked.
Throw your gold into the river as if it were dust.
whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything.
hese trials are only to test your faith, to show that it is strong and pure. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—and your faith is far more precious to God than mere gold. So if your faith remains strong after being tried by fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.
God blesses the people who patiently endure testing. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
Litany of Humility
O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed,Deliver me, Jesus.
From the desire of being loved,
From the desire of being extolled,
From the desire of being honored,
From the desire of being praised,
From the desire of being preferred,
From the desire of being consulted,
From the desire of being approved,
From the fear of being humiliated,
From the fear of being despised,
From the fear of suffering rebukes,
From the fear of being calumniated,
From the fear of being forgotten,
From the fear of being ridiculed,
From the fear of being wronged,
From the fear of being suspected,
That others may be loved more than I,
That others may be esteemed more than I,
That in the opinion of the world, others may increase, and I may decrease,
That others may be chosen and I set aside,
That others may be praised and I unnoticed,
That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
And this life sentence that i'm serving, i admit that i'm every bit deserving
oh God, oh God, I needed you, God all this time I needed you, I needed you...
where do you find the love to offer he who betrays you?
and offer to wash my feet as i offer to disobey you,
your beauty does bereave me, and how my words do fail,
so faithfully and dutifully i award you with betrayal
'Cause I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise you're not through with me yet
So if all of these trials bring me closer to you
Then I will go through the fire
If you want me to
....And i shall be sent forth screaming into the night, for I am a HOLY BLOWTORCH of the LORD.
