Forgiven and Forgotten

I even, I am the one who wipes out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.

Isaiah 43:25

 

Help And Hope

How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,

Whose hope is in the Lord his God,

Who made heaven and earth,

The seas and all that is in them;

Who keeps faith forever;

Who executes justice for the oppressed;

Who gives food to the hungry.

The Lord sets the prisoners free.

Psalm 146:5-7

 

Yes Means Yes

But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either my heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you may not fall under judgment. 

James 5:12

A good reason to always speak the truth is that you never have to remember what you said.  We don’t have to say any more and we don’t have to defend the truth, because it is what it is and nothing can change it. 

 

You Are Blessed

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:3

 

Time

But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

2 Peter 3:8-9

 

Built Up And Grateful

Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.

Colossians 2:6-7.
