The Wealth of Inner Peace
But godliness with contentment is great gain.—1 Timothy 6:6 (NIV)
Then she knelt behind Him at His feet, weeping. Her tears fell on His feet, and she wiped them off with her hair. Then she kept kissing His feet and putting perfume on them.—Luke 7:38 (NLT)
The story in this verse of the anointing of Jesus is a beautiful testimony of love. So moved by Jesus’ forgiveness, the sinful, unnamed woman didn’t utter a word. She simply wept and kissed His feet, knowing deep in her heart that she had been forgiven.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the countless times You’ve forgiven me.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.—1 Timothy 6:6 (NIV)
At midnight I rise to give you thanks for your righteous laws. I am a friend to all who fear you, to all who follow your precepts.—Psalm 119:62–63 (NIV)
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.—Isaiah 43:2 (NIV)
