God of Hope

The quiet words of a wise person are better than the shouts of a foolish ruler (Ecclesiastes 9:17).

Remember your leaders who taught you the word of God. Think of all the good that has come from their lives, and follow the example of their faith (Hebrews 13:7).

So the Lord said to Moses, “Joshua, the son of Nun, has the ability to be a wise leader; lay your hand on him” (Numbers 27:18).

For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good (Romans 13:4).

God has chosen you. You are holy and loved by Him. Because of this, your new life should be full of loving-pity. You should be kind to others and have no pride. Be gentle and be willing to wait for others (Colossians 3:12).

. . .the Lord appeared to his people and said,  “I love you… with a love that will last forever. That is why I have continued showing you kindness” (Jeremiah 31:3).

You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love (Galatians 5:13).

Your love delights me, my treasure, my bride. Your love is better than wine, your perfume more fragrant than spices (Song of Songs 4:10).

Let us think of ways to motivate one another to love and good works (Hebrews 10:24).

But I tell you, love your enemies. Pray for those who treat you badly (Matthew 5:44).

 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance (1 Corinthians 13:7).

And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart,  all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength (Mark 12:30).
