Blessed be your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise.

All a man’s ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs the heart.

I love the Lord. He heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.

Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin

The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.

Be careful not to do your “acts of righteousness” before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

But go and learn what this means: I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.

If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
