1 Peter 5:10

1 Peter 5:10 (NCV)
And after you suffer for a short time, God, who gives all grace, will make everything right. He will make you strong and support you and keep you from falling. He called you to share in his glory in Christ, a glory that will continue forever.

Love one another

John 13:34 (MSG)
"Let me give you a new command: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples—when they see the love you have for each other."

Ask II

James 4:3 (NLT)
And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.

Ask

John 15:16 (MSG)
"You didn't choose me, remember; I chose you, and put you in the world to bear fruit, fruit that won't spoil. As fruit bearers, whatever you ask the Father in relation to me, he gives you.

Love

Romans 12:9 (NLT)
Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.

God takes care of his own

Luke 12:31 (MSG)
Steep yourself in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.

No one like our God

1 Samuel 2:2 (NLT)
No one is holy like the LORD! There is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.

The way you must love others

1 Peter 1:22 (MSG)
Now that you've cleaned up your lives by following the truth, love one another as if your lives depended on it. Your new life is not like your old life. Your old birth came from mortal sperm; your new birth comes from God's living Word. Just think: a life conceived by God himself! That's why the prophet said, The old life is a grass life, its beauty as short-lived as wildflowers; Grass dries up, flowers droop, God's Word goes on and on forever. This is the Word that conceived the new life in you.

Such a time as this

Esther 4:14 (MSG)
If you persist in staying silent at a time like this, help and deliverance will arrive for the Jews from someplace else; but you and your family will be wiped out. Who knows? Maybe you were made queen for just such a time as this."

His command to us

Joshua 1:9 (NLT)
This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Isaiah 43:19

Isaiah 43:19 (MSG)
Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new. It's bursting out! Don't you see it? There it is! I'm making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands.

1 Corinthians 8:3

1 Corinthians 8:3 (MSG)
We never really know enough until we recognize that God alone knows it all.

Who He is

Isaiah 9:6 (NLT)
For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Confidence

2 Timothy 4:18 (CEV)
The Lord will always keep me from being harmed by evil, and he will bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. Praise him forever and ever! Amen.

Assurance

1 John 3:19-20 (MSG)
This is the only way we'll know we're living truly, living in God's reality.

Assurance

Romans 11:29 (NCV)
God never changes his mind about the people he calls and the things he gives them.

Christian bragging

Jeremiah 9:24 (MSG)
If you brag, brag of this and this only: That you understand and know me. I'm God, and I act in loyal love. I do what's right and set things right and fair, and delight in those who do the same things. These are my trademarks." God's Decree.

Luke 10:20

Luke 10:20 (MSG)
All the same, the great triumph is not in your authority over evil, but in God's authority over you and presence with you. Not what you do for God but what God does for you-that's the agenda for rejoicing."

Romans 14:19

Romans 14:19 (MSG)
So let's agree to use all our energy in getting along with each other. Help others with encouraging words; don't drag them down by finding fault. You're certainly not going to permit an argument over what is served or not served at supper to wreck God's work among you, are you? I said it before and I'll say it again: All food is good, but it can turn bad if you use it badly, if you use it to trip others up and send them sprawling. When you sit down to a meal, your primary concern should not be to feed your own face but to share the life of Jesus. So be sensitive and courteous to the others who are eating. Don't eat or say or do things that might interfere with the free exchange of love.

John 3:30

John 3:30 (MSG)
"That's why my cup is running over. This is the assigned moment for him to move into the center, while I slip off to the sidelines.

Romans 12:2

Romans 12:2 (MSG)
Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

Matthew 5:8

Matthew 5:8 (MSG)
"You're blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.

Proverbs 11:14

Proverbs 11:14 (MSG)
Without good direction, people lose their way; the more wise counsel you follow, the better your chances.

Hebrews 10:23

Hebrews 10:23 (MSG)
Let's keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word.

Deuteronomy 3:22

Don't be afraid of them. God, your God,-he's fighting for you."
