Today I wrote some verses that I want to mediate (or marinate!) on. I thought I woukd share these timeless truths with you:
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
-Galatians 2:20
Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.
-Isaiah 26:8
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.
–John 3:16
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
-Philippians 4:6-8
Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
-Psalm 34:5

-1 Peter 3:3-4
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
-1 Timothy 6:6
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
-Colossians 3:5, 9-10
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
-Colossians 3:17
But 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.
-Isaiah 40:31
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
-Romans 8:37
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
-James 4:7-8
“If you can?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for him who believes.”
