Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He makes me lie
down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He
restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His
name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow
of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and
Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the
presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My
cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days
of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever
John 14:1-6
"Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.
In My Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would
have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
And if
I am going their to prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to
be with me you also may be where I am.
You know the way to
where I am going."
Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we don't
know where You are going, how do we know the way?"
Jesus
said to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes
to the Father except through Me.
2 Corinthians 4:17-5:1
... do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our Light
and momentary troubles and achieving for us an eternal glory that far
outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen., but on whay is unseem. For whay is seen is temporary, but on
what is unseen is eternal. Now we known that if the earthlu tent we live is
destroryed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in
heaven, not built by human hands.
Matthew 11:28-30
"Come to me, all you who are tired and have heavy loads. I will
give you rest. Accept my work and learn from me. I am gentle and
hummble in sprit. And you will find rest for your souls. The work
that I ask you to accept is easy. The load I gave you to carry is not
heavy."
