Counting Blessings!

I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Do not judge, or you too will be judged.

Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future.

And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.

God is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are.

Some wounds can not be seen, only felt. Just as the presence of God, that can not be seen only felt. Only the Invisible God heal the invisible wounds.

Our love to God is measured by our everyday fellowship with others and the love it displays.
