Weekly Verse

John 15: 12-25
"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
Greater love has no one than this, that he laid down his life for his friends.
You are my friends if you do what I command.
This is my command: Love each other.
If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own.
Remember the words I spoke to you: No servant is greater than his master.
If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.
They will treat you this way because of my name, for they would not be guilty of sin.
He who hates me hates my father as well.
But this is to fulfill what is written in the law: They hated me without reason."

Wonderful Passage!

"Now this is what the Lord says. He created you, (put your name here); he formed you, (put your name here). He says, "Don't be afraid, because I have saved you. I have called you by name, and you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you cross rivers, you will not drown. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned, nor will the flames hurt you. This is because I, the Lord, am your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour. I gave nations to pay for you, and I gave others to make you mine. Because you are precious to me, because I give you honour and love you, I will give other people in your place; I will give other nations to save your life."

Isaiah 43:1-4

Weekly Verse

"Don't be upset because of evil people. Don't be jealous of those who do wrong, because like the grass, they will soon dry up. Like green plants, they will soon die away. Trust the Lord and do good. Live in the land and feed on truth. Enjoy serving the Lord, and he will give you what you want. Depend on the Lord; trust him, and he will take care of you. Then your goodness will shine like the sun, and your fairness like the noonday sun. Wait and trust the Lord. Don't be upset when others get rich or when someone else's plans succeed. Don't get angry. Don't be upset; it only leads to trouble. Evil people will be sent away, but those who trust the Lord will inherit the land."

Psalm 37:1-9


Reflect:
This passage is kind of like the laws of God. What you should and shouldn't do and their consequences. This is a great passage to look at everyday and notice what you have been following and what you have been committing throughout the day. This passage will give you peace and patience if you obey what it says and will bring joy into your life, a good  consequence from obeying the Lord. This passage also mentions the everyday emotions that we feel everyday but we don't notice that they are the laws of God. It also mentions that we should trust the Lord and he will lead us towards the right path with carefulness and will sustain you. If you obey the Lord your goodness will shine like the sun. This means that if you obey the Lord's laws then your consequence will be great and yet you will also become great.
