Emily Dickinson

A word is dead

When it is said

Some say.

I say it just

Begins to live

That day.

Truth

And you shall know the truth,

and the truth shall make you free.

John 8:32

Jesus forgives and heals.

"No one in the kingdom of God is too weak to experience God’s power, but many are too confident in their own strength."

 John MacArthur

For Us or for Our Enemies?

Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, 

“Are you for us or for our enemies?”

"Neither," 
he replied, 
"but as commander of the army of the 
Lord I have now come."

Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord have for his servant?” The commander of the Lord’s army replied, 

“Take off your sandals, for the place where you are 
standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.

Joshua 5:13-15

Blessing

The Lord bless you and keep you; 

the Lord make his face to shine upon you 

and be gracious to you; 

the Lord lift up his countenance upon you 

and give you peace. 

Numbers 6:24-26

Messiah

Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. “What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs. If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation.” 

Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, “You know nothing at all! You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.” 

He did not say this on his own, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation, and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one.

John 11:47-52

Today

Today, the grass is greener than I have ever seen.

Today, the sky is bluer than it has ever been.

And today, my heart is beating like I've never felt it beat.

And today, the flowers are growing from 
the ground beneath my feet.

Today, my hope is stronger and the vision's clearer.

To walk in love eternal, the path that takes me nearer.

And to You, the music's playing like it has never done.

And to You, my feet are dancing underneath the sun.

In You, I live.

In You, I live.

In You, I live and breathe.

And to You, the music's playing like it has never done.

And to You, my feet are dancing underneath the sun.

In You, I live.

In You, I live.

In You, I live and breathe.

In You, I live.

In You, I live.

In You, I live and breathe.

-Iona, "Today"

Philippians 4:8

Finally, 

brothers and sisters, 

whatever is true, 

whatever is noble, 

whatever is right, 

whatever is pure, 

whatever is lovely, 

whatever is admirable

--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--

think about such things.
