What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8

The Lords Supper. Then He took a piece of bread,gave thanks to God, broke it,and gave it to them, saying, This is my body,which is given for you.Do this in memory of me. In the same way, He gave them the cup after the supper, saying,This cup is Gods new covenant sealed with my blood,which is poured out for you. St.Luke chapter 22 v19 Good News version.

Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. Matthew 5. sermon on the Mount.

Ruth xx. Where abouts in Scotland are you? I love Scotland. Vonny....I have a cousin called Yvonne ...we call her Yonny... its a lovely name....what does it mean?..could it be taken from Eve?...does it mean Mother? God is our refuge and strength, an ever - present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Psalm 46 : 1-3 Hetty

'Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God' from the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew's Gospel

Judging Others. Do not judge others,and God will not judge you, do not condemn others, and God will not condemn you, forgive others, and God will forgive you. Give to others, and God will give to you. Indeed, you will receive a full measure, a generous helping, poured into your hands- all that you can hold.The measure you use for others is the one that God will use for you. . St Luke 6 v 37 Gwyn

Snap Anne :) Hetty, I've sent you a message. Hope you are all having a day full of blessings. Vonny

A nice, dare I say, brave thread. I always like the verse from revelations (3.20 from memory)- 'Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door........'(remembering in the famous picture, that the the catch on the door is only on one side, for you to open.) Happy days

Harry, I was going to use that text tomorrow, it is one of my favourites!! I am glad you mentioned about the catch on the door, not a lot of people know that. regards Gwyn

Psalm 130 1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD; 2 O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. 3 If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? 4 But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared. 5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. 6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning. 7 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. 8 He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.

I have this one on my fridge door... to remind me on dark days.. I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11. Hetty

Happy are you when people insult you and persecute you and tell all kinds of evil lies against you because you are my followers. Be happy and glad, for a great reward is kept for you in heaven. This is how the prophets who lived before you were persecuted. Matthew 5v.11

He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147.v3.

Oh Vonny I've not been on the boards for sometime and have come across your thread. Its been such a blessing and encouragement to see so many people adding their favourite verses and thereby giving their own little testimonies. Thank you all so much. I have so many favourites but the Lord used John 11:25 to bring me to faith, so I'll quote that now: Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And for those whose burdens get so heavy sometimes: Cast all your cares upon Him, for He careth for you. 1 Peter 5: 7 Many Blessings Dorothy

If God is for us,who can be against us? Romans 8:31 NIV Night ...God bless Vonny

Thank you for joining us and adding Dorothy. :) Have updated the first post for Wednesday. Vonny

Let all bitterness, and wrath and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ`s sake has forgiven you. Ephesians 4 v 31--32
