Thank you Jesus ❤️


Deep in my heart I long for your temple, and with all that I am I sing joyful songs to you
🕊️✝️❤️

❤️I love you, LORD, my strength❤️

Relax, everything's going to be all right; rest, everything's coming together; open your hearts, love is on the way
🕊️✝️❤️
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart
🕊️✝️❤️
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account
🕊️✝️❤️
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess
🕊️✝️❤️
Jesus understands every weakness of ours, because he was tempted in every way that we are. But he did not sin
🕊️✝️❤️
So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most
🕊️✝️❤️
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you
🕊️✝️❤️



@lovealways9337

Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain
🕊️✝️❤️
Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD
🕊️✝️❤️
How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension
🕊️✝️❤️
The LORD supports the humble, but he brings the wicked down into the dust
🕊️✝️❤️
Sing out your thanks to the LORD ; sing praises to our God with a harp
🕊️✝️❤️
He covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures
🕊️✝️❤️
He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry
🕊️✝️❤️
He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might
🕊️✝️❤️
No, the LORD ’s delight is in those who fear him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love
🕊️✝️❤️
