Psalm 19:1
1)The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And the expanse [of heaven] is declaring the work of His hands.
Matthew 20:25-28 #TPT
Jesus, knowing their thoughts, called them to his side and said, “Kings and those with great authority in this world rule oppressively over their subjects, like tyrants.
But this is not your calling. You will lead by a completely different model. The greatest one among you will live as the one who is called to serve others,
because the greatest honor and authority is reserved for the one with the heart of a servant.
For even the Son of Man did not come expecting to be served but to serve and give his life in exchange for the salvation of many.”

Matthew 19:8-12 #TPT
Jesus said, “Moses permitted you to divorce because your hearts are so hard and stubborn, but originally there was no such thing.
But I say to you, whoever leaves his wife for any reason other than immorality, then takes another wife is living in adultery. And whoever takes a divorced woman in marriage is also living in adultery.”
His disciples spoke up and said, “If this is the standard, then it seems better to never get married.”
“Not everyone is meant to remain single—only those whom God gives grace to be unmarried.
For some are born to celibacy; others have been made eunuchs by others. And there are some who have chosen to live in celibacy for the sacred purpose of heaven’s kingdom realm. Let those who can, accept this truth for themselves.”

"Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble." -1 Peter 3:8 👨👩👧👦💖✝️
Philippians 4:4-9 #TPT
Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let your joy overflow!
And let gentleness be seen in every relationship, for our Lord is ever near.
Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life,
then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ.
Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always.
Put into practice the example of all that you have heard from me or seen in my life and the God of peace will be with you in all things.

Matthew 19:27-30 #TPT
Then Peter blurted out, “Here we are. We’ve given up everything to follow you. What reward will there be for us?”
Jesus responded, “Listen to the truth: In the age of the restoration of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will have twelve thrones of your own, and you will govern the twelve tribes of Israel.
For anyone who has left behind their home and property, leaving family—brothers or sisters, mothers or fathers, or children—for my sake, they will be repaid a hundred times over and will inherit eternal life.
But many who push themselves to be first will find themselves last. And those who are willing to be last will find themselves to be first.”

Psalms 56:8-11 #TPT
You’ve kept track of all my wandering and my weeping. You’ve stored my many tears in your bottle—not one will be lost. For they are all recorded in your book of remembrance.
The very moment I call to you for a father’s help the tide of battle turns and my enemies flee. This one thing I know: God is on my side! I trust in the Lord. And I praise him!
I trust in the Word of God. And I praise him!
What harm could man do to me? With God on my side, I will not be afraid of what comes. My heart overflows with praise to God and for his promises. I will always trust in him.

Psalms 103:13-19 #TPT
The same way a loving father feels toward his children - that’s but a sample of your tender feelings toward us, your beloved children, who live in awe of you.
You know all about us, inside and out. You are mindful that we’re made from dust.
Our days are so few, and our momentary beauty so swiftly fades away!
Then all of a sudden we’re gone, like grass clippings blown away in a gust of wind, taken away to our appointment with death, leaving nothing to show that we were here.
But Lord, your endless love stretches from one eternity to the other, unbroken and unrelenting toward those who fear you and those who bow facedown in awe before you.
Your faithfulness to keep every gracious promise you’ve made passes from parents, to children, to grandchildren, and beyond. You are faithful to all those who follow your ways and keep your word. Yahweh has established his throne in heaven; his kingdom rules the entire universe.

Jude (Judah) 1:17-23 #TPT
But you, my delightfully loved friends, remember the prophecies of the apostles of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One.
They taught you, “In the last days there will always be mockers, motivated by their own ungodly desires.”
These people cause divisions and are followers of their own natural instincts, devoid of the life of the Spirit.
But you, my delightfully loved friends, constantly and progressively build yourselves up on the foundation of your most holy faith by praying every moment in the Spirit.
Fasten your hearts to the love of God and receive the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who gives us eternal life.
Keep being compassionate to those who still have doubts,
and snatch others out of the fire to save them. Be merciful over and over to them, but always couple your mercy with the fear of God. Be extremely careful to keep yourselves free from the pollutions of the flesh.
#Bible #ThePassionTranslation
Romans 12:10-15 #TPT
Be devoted to tenderly loving your fellow believers as members of one family. Try to outdo yourselves in respect and honor of one another.
Be enthusiastic to serve the Lord, keeping your passion toward him boiling hot! Radiate with the glow of the Holy Spirit and let him fill you with excitement as you serve him.
Let this hope burst forth within you, releasing a continual joy. Don’t give up in a time of trouble, but commune with God at all times.
Take a constant interest in the needs of God’s beloved people and respond by helping them. And eagerly welcome people as guests into your home.
Speak blessing, not cursing, over those who reject and persecute you.
Celebrate with those who celebrate, and weep with those who grieve.

Romans 8:1-2
1)Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior].
2)For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has set you free from the law of sin and of death.
James (Jacob) 3:14-18 #TPT
But if there is bitter jealousy or competition hiding in your heart, then don’t deny it and try to compensate for it by boasting and being phony.
For that has nothing to do with God’s heavenly wisdom but can best be described as the wisdom of this world, both selfish and devilish.
So wherever jealousy and selfishness are uncovered, you will also find many troubles and every kind of meanness.
But the wisdom from above is always pure, filled with peace, considerate and teachable. It is filled with love and never displays prejudice or hypocrisy in any form and it always bears the beautiful harvest of righteousness! Good seeds of wisdom’s fruit will be planted with peaceful acts by those who cherish making peace.
