“A sacrifice to God is a broken spirit, a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.” ~Psalm 51:17

Pride in one’s life is a door left wide open that the enemy freely exploits.

“Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 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.” ~Jesus (Matthew 11:28-30)

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.” ~Isaiah 26:3-4

“Yet I will glory in the Lord; I will rejoice in God my Savior. The Lord God is my strength; He will direct my feet to the end; He will set me upon high places. So to conquer by His song.” ~Habakkuk 3:18-19

If you think forgiveness is hard... try living a life of unforgiveness.

“Help us not see greater value in the gifts You give And not become distracted from their intended desires May we regard the world and all that is in it As nothing compared to the satisfaction of knowing our Messiah” @BeautifulEulogy #Messiah

I will run in the way of Your commandments when you enlarge my heart! ~Psalm 119:28-32

My soul melts away for sorrow; strengthen me according to Your word! Put false ways far from me and graciously teach me Your law! I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I set Your rules before me. I cling to Your testimonies, O LORD; let me not be put to shame!

“For the Lord God loves mercy and truth; He will give grace and glory; The Lord’s hand will not remove good things from those who walk in innocence. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who hopes in You.” ~#Psalm 84:12-13

~Matt Boswell & Matt Papa in the song “Completely Known, Completely Loved”

“Completely known, completely loved I’m covered by my Savior’s blood I’m robed in white & God is pleased To see His Son, when Hе looks on me Completely His, how can it bе? That God would set His heart on me Loved not for works that I have done But long before time had begun.”

“Hope in the Lord, and work goodness; dwell in the land, and you shall be nurtured by its riches. Delight in the Lord, and He will give you the requests of your heart. Reveal your way to the Lord, and hope in Him; and He will do it.” #Psalm 37:3-5 #followHim #desirewhatHedesires

“The counsel of the Lord abides forever, the thoughts of His heart from generation to generation. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose as an inheritance for Himself.” ~Psalm 33:11-12

“As for me, in righteousness I shall behold Your face; I shall be satisfied when Your glory is revealed.” ~Psalm 16:15 #dependingonthatwhichsatisfies #nothingcomparestoGod

Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy & beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, & patience, bearing with one another &, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. ~Colossians 3:12-13

“For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” ~Romans 8:6-8

Joy Jesus first. Others Second. Yourself last. #Wordpress
