Where the Real News is the Good News

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.

 The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:

“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
    I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mindtoward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

Why, my soul, are you downcast?
    Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
    for I will yet praise him,
    my Savior and my God.

 The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:

“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
    I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
