2 Samuel 22:32-33 (NIV) For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength & keeps my way secure. 1 Corinthians 1:18 (NLT) The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. 2 Peter 1:3 (ESV) His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life & godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us to His own glory & excellence. 1 Cor 4:20 For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power. 1 Cor 2:5 So that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 1 Chron 16:11 Seek the Lord & His strength; seek His presence continually. — For it is here we find our faith & the power of God to keep our way secure! Simply call, seek, knock! The door is always open. Love Mel

John 13:35 (NIV) By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. 1 John 3:14 (BSB) We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death. 1 John 4:20 If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. 2 John 1:5 Now I urge you, dear lady–not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning–that we love one another! — To love God & to love one another is so critical for eternal life! And love is truly the mark of a true disciple of Jesus! So don’t forget forgiveness! This is critical for our love to continue to flow! Love Mel

God absolutely loves us! Jude 1:21 (NIV) Keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. 1 Sam 15:22 (BSB) Samuel declared: “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings & sacrifices as much as in obedience to His voice? Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice, & attentiveness is better than the fat of rams. Matt 12:7 (NIV) If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent. Hosea 6:6 (NIV) For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, & acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings. Luke 6:36 Be merciful,…James 2:13 …Mercy triumphs over judgment. Micah 6:8 (KJV) He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, to love mercy, & to walk humbly with thy God? — Let’s all pursue & wait on MERCY! Love Mel

Isaiah 41:10 (NASB)Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 12:2 Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust & not be afraid; For the LORD GOD is my strength & song, & He has become my salvation. Isaiah 26:4 Trust in the LORD forever, For in GOD the LORD, we have an everlasting Rock. Rom 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? — Do not fear, only trust in God, for He is our only salvation! “Jehovah Mephalti – The Lord my Deliverer”! Love Mel

Job 5:9 (ESV)Who does great things & unsearchable, marvelous things without number: Hebr 2:4 While God also bore witness by signs & wonders & various miracles & by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will. Psalm 77:14 You are the God who works wonders; you have made known your might among the peoples. Mark 9:23 Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes. — We serve a God of miracles & miracles still happen today; Thru prayer! —Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, & it will be yours. Phil 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer & supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Rom 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. — Jesus tells us in John 16:33 In this world there will be trouble, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. — It is clear that in this life we will experience trouble, therefore we must continue to fight the good fight of faith each & every day, for our enemy steals, kills & destroys! FIGHT with PRAYER! Love Mel
