You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.

Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

… give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

The LORD has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad.

Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty— and I will meditate on your wonderful works.

Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it. Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.

Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.

The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.

The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools.

it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
