and give you his peace. - For the Lord delights in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory. - Joyful are those who obey his laws
and search for him with all their hearts. - The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease.
Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning. - For the Lord grants wisdom!

And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.

Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.Next verse!With image
