Matthew 11:29-30 – “Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Burdens aren’t easy, especially when they’re emotional or physical trials that weigh on us night and day. […]
Romans 8:38-39 – “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Jesus loves you. This […]
Romans 8:32 – “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?” We applaud people in the world who give generously for a noble cause. Media glorifies a millionaire who gives his life earnings to a charity […]
Romans 8:18 - “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” All of us want to have a good future.

John 15:13-15—”Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my […]
Mark 5:30—”And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?” When a moving toy car slows down and then refuses to move, we say ‘must be the battery’ and recharge the battery. Once it regains lost charge, the car […]
Galatians 3:27—”For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.” Someone described being united with Christ and putting on Christ in baptism as belonging on a team. The team’s uniform allows its members to recognize each other as a child of God and not focus on differences among the team. […]
Colossians 1:13-14—”He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. All of us have gone through a journey to have a personal experience of Christ Jesus or prior to being in […]
John 17:21—”so that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you …” ‘Human beings are innately social and are shaped by their experiences with others – relationships.
