Jesus Loves You More

Rest in the knowledge that you are deeply loved.

Then Hannah prayed and said: “My heart rejoices in the Lord; in the Lord my horn is lifted high. My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance. There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.”—1 SAMUEL 2:1–2 NIV

Tune into God’s Blessings

For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.—Colossians 1:16-17 (ESV)

The Warrior Sings

“The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”—ZEPHANIAH 3:17 NIV

The Wisdom of Not Knowing

Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance.—Proverbs 1:5 (ESV)

Great Is His Faithfulness

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.—LAMENTATIONS 3:22–23 NIV

Healing for Yourself and Loved Ones

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.—Psalm 147:3 (NIV)

The Gift That Keeps on Giving

Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.—HEBREWS 9:27–28 NIV
