Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. -KJV
Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. -NIV
Psalm 90
One cheering word, poor lost sinner, for thee! You think you must not come to God because you are vile. Now, there is not a saint living on earth but has been made to feel that he is vile. If Job, and Isaiah, and Paul were all obliged to say "I am vile," oh, poor sinner, wilt thou be ashamed to join in the same confession? If divine grace does not eradicate all sin from the believer, how dost thou hope to do it thyself? and if God loves his people while they are yet vile, dost thou think thy vileness will prevent his loving thee? Believe on Jesus, thou outcast of the world's society! Jesus calls thee, and such as thou art.
-Charles Haddon Spurgeon
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye,
being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all
saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to
know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be
filled with all the fulness of God. -King James Version
...so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have
power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and
long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that
surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the
fullness of God. -NIV
-from Ephesians 3.
*A love which surpasses knowledge.
*A spiritual fullness.
Thank you God.
God is good.
"The thing is to understand myself, to see what God really wishes me to do; the thing is to find a truth which is true for me, to find the idea for which I can live and die."
-Soren Kierkegaard
Floods did but lift him heavenward, and winds did but waft him on his way. Outside of the ark all was ruin, but inside all was rest and peace.
-Charles Haddon Spurgeon
"...now the righteousness of God without the Mosaic Law is manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the prophets;
even the righteousness of God which is faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jeus."
-Romans 21-27. King James Version
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
-from 1 Thessalonians.
Brotherhood is so important, community, the household of faith, and the poor, and the widows, and the downtrodden, and the otherwise forgotten, the meek, the humble.
