- May the Lord guide your hearts to the love of God and the steadfastness of Christ.
- My son, if your heart is wise,
then my heart will be glad. - For where your treasure is, there will your heart also be.
- When you search for me, you will find me. When you seek me with all your heart.
- Guard your heart with all possible vigilance,
for from it flow the wellsprings of life. - You are truly my rock and my fortress;
for the sake of your name, lead and guide me. - Take delight in the Lord,
and he will grant you what your heart desires. - Yet even now, says the Lord,
return to me with all your heart,
with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning. - Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
- Place your hope in the Lord:
be strong and courageous in your heart,
and place your hope in the Lord. - You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.
- But if you seek the Lord, your God, and you strive with all your heart and your soul, you will find him there.
- If you confess with your lips, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
- Guide my steps in accord with your word
and never let evil triumph over me. - Hear, O Israel, the Lord, our God, is Lord alone. You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
- My son, concentrate attentively on my words;
pay heed to the instructions I pass on to you.
Do not let them slip from your mind;
keep them forever in your heart. - Guide me in your truth and instruct me,
for you are God, my Savior,
and in you I hope all the day long. - He continued, “Then put away the foreign gods from among you. Bend your heart to the Lord, the God of Israel.”
- He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
- Banish grief from your heart
and ignore the sufferings of your body,
for youth and the prime of life are fleeting. - My son, do not forget my teaching,
but cherish my commandments in your heart,
for they will bring you length of days,
more years of life, and an abundance of prosperity. - Be strong and courageous in your hearts,
all you who place your hope in the Lord. - Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with your whole heart, considering the great things he has done for you.
- Set me as a seal on your heart,
as a seal upon your arm.
For love is as strong as death,
and ardor is as relentless as the netherworld.
Its flames are flashes of fire,
an unending blaze. - Do not let kindness and fidelity leave you;
fasten them around your neck
and inscribe them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will gain favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.
Examine me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and understand my thoughts.
See if I follow an evil way,
and guide me on the way to eternity.May the Lord cause your love to increase and overflow for one another and for everyone else, just as our love does for you. Finally, all of you should be united in spirit, sympathetic, filled with love for one another, compassionate, and humble.Next verse!With image
