Blessed are the merciful—they will be shown mercy.

So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Seek the Lord while he may be found; call to him while he is near.

Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

“For I know the plans I have for you”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden.

Little children, let us not love in word or speech, but in action and in truth.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, strengthen, and support you after you have suffered a little while.

You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart.
