Sorry again Vonny, no Bible verse but a song Turn your eyes upon Jesus Look full in His wonderful face And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace. Keep your eyes upon Jesus Let nobody else take His place So that hour by hour you will know His power Till at last you have run the great race.

For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth. Psalm 26 verse 3.

Sorry Vonny, I always seem to be diverting from the weeks theme but the Lord always seems to direct us to where he wants us and today it was here for me. 2 Cor 1:3-4 [NIV} 'Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.' Now for eyes [Luke 24:31] ' Then their eyes were opened and they recognised him,'

Luke 11 v 34 - 35 Your eyes are like a lamp for the body. When your eyes are sound, your whole body is full of light; but when your eyes are no good, your whole body will be in darkness. Make certain then, that the light in you is not darkness. Good News Bible Vonny

Every good gift and every perfect present comes from heaven; it comes down from God, the Creator of the heavenly lights, who does not change or cause darkness by turning. By His own will He brought us into being through the word of truth,so that we should have first place among all His creatures. James 1 v 17-18 Good News Bible. Gwyn

Psalm 23 Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need! He lets me rest in the meadow grass and leads me beside the quiet streams. He restores my failing health. He helps me do what honours him the most. Even when walking through the dark, valley of death I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me, guarding, guiding all away. You provide delicious food for me in the presence of my enemies. You have welcomed me as your guest; blessings overflow! Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life, and afterwards I will live with you for ever in your home. Living Bible

Love towards enemies. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you. Matthew 5 v 44 King James Bible. I am going to Greece tomorrow for a week , I shall post on my return. Many Blessings Gwyn

Now remember at what you were, my brothers, when God called you. From the human point of view, few of you were wise, all-powerful or of high social standing. God purposely chose what the world considers nonsense, in order to shame the wise, and he chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the powerful. He chose what the world looks down on and despises, and thinks is nothing, in order to destroy what the world thinks is important. This means that no one can boast in God's presence. 1 Corinthians 1 v 26 - 29 Good News Bible. Vonny

A Hymn of Praise. I will proclaim your greatness,my God and king: I will thank you for ever and ever. Every day I will thank you; I will praise you for ever and ever The Lord is great and is to be highly praised; His greatness is beyond understanding. Psalm 145 v1-3 Gwyn
