“Do not let mercy and kindness and truth leave you [instead let these qualities define you]; Bind them [securely] around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart. So find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man.” Proverbs 3:3-4 AMP (emphasis mine)
Jesus prayed for His disciples, “Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” John 17:17

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May they prosper who love you.” Psalm 122:6
All Scripture is from the NIV unless stated otherwise.
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.β
βThen the righteous will answer him, βLord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?β
βThe King will reply, βTruly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.β Matthew 25:35-40

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May they prosper who love you.” Psalm 122:6
All Scripture is from the NIV unless stated otherwise.
βHe sat down, called the twelve disciples over to him, and said,Β βWhoever wants to be first must take last place and be the servant of everyone else.β
Then he put a little child among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them,Β βAnyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalfΒ welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes not only me but also my Father who sent me.β (Jesus) Mark 9:35-37 NLT
When I read these verses, I am always reminded of the great need in most churches for more Children’s Ministry teachers. What a privilege to answer God’s call to serve the children He so dearly loves!

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May they prosper who love you.” Psalm 122:6
God forgives even the worst of sinners. But sometimes it can be almost impossible to forgive yourself. There is nothing the devil would like more than to torment you by reminding you of your past. So what can you do? I have good news for you: The Bible addresses this specific problem!
Jesus said, βIf you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples,and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.β John 8:31-32
Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, … let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience …” Hebrews 10:19-22
The Apostle Paul said,
“Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinnersβof whom I am the worst.But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.” 1 Timothy 1:15-16
Saul, who later became known as the Apostle Paul put Christ-followers to death! But he said that Jesus showed him mercy to display His immense patience as an example for us. Yes, God even forgives murder.
Paul said, “I persecuted the followers of this Way to their death, arresting both men and women and throwing them into prison…” Acts 22:4-5
The Good News is this:
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:1-2
The blood of Jesus brings forgiveness for the vilest sin. It will even cleanse you from a guilty conscience. The cross is enough!

Psalm 42 For the director of music. A maskil of the Sons of Korah
“Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him againβ my Savior and my God!” Psalm 42:11 NLT Read full chapter
This Psalm was written by King David when his son Absalom defected. The sons of Korah are the men David put in charge of the music in the house of the Lord, evidence that David placed great importance on worship through musical excellence, both instrumental and vocal.
When we worship and praise God we become aware of His magnificence. Suddenly the circumstances of life begin to pale when compared to the greatness of God. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)
