- The Lord will stay with you as long as you stay with him! Whenever you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you.
- Search for the Lord and for his strength;
continually seek him. - The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help.
He rescues them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. - Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all.
- Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.
- The one thing I ask of the Lord—
the thing I seek most—
is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
delighting in the Lord’s perfections
and meditating in his Temple. - You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever. - But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ.
- And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us.
- Seek the Lord while you can find him.
Call on him now while he is near. - Search for the Lord and for his strength;
continually seek him. - No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you.
- Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever. - Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you.
- A single day in your courts
is better than a thousand anywhere else!
I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God
than live the good life in the homes of the wicked. - May the Lord our God be with us as he was with our ancestors; may he never leave us or abandon us.
- But in your great mercy, you did not destroy them completely or abandon them forever. What a gracious and merciful God you are!
- No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us.
- Heal the sick, and tell them, ‘The Kingdom of God is near you now.’
- Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
- Moses remained there on the mountain with the Lord forty days and forty nights. In all that time he ate no bread and drank no water. And the Lord wrote the terms of the covenant—the Ten Commandments—on the stone tablets.
- Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.
- I thirst for God, the living God.
When can I go and stand before him?
But the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.”
