Desire - Christian e-cards

For I consider that the sufferings
of this present time are not worthy
to be compared with the glory
which shall be revealed in us.

For we were saved in this hope,
but hope that is seen is not hope;
for why does one still hope for what he sees?
But if we hope for what we do not see,
we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I hope in Him!”

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes;
there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.
There shall be no more pain,
for the former things have passed away.

As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.

Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young even Your altars,
O LORD of hosts, My King and my God.

My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.

The LORD lift up His countenance
upon you, And give you peace.

The LORD make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;

He who testifies to these things says,
“Surely I am coming quickly.”

Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

If then you were raised with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.

That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection,
and the fellowship of His sufferings,
being conformed to His death,

Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears,
“Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

Therefore if the Son makes you free,
you shall be free indeed.

Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,
For in You do I trust;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For I lift up my soul to You.

Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come!

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I hope in Him!”

Blessed is the man who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at the posts of my doors.
For whoever finds me finds life,
And obtains favor from the Lord;

Then He said to them,
With fervent desire I have desired to eat
this Passover with you before I suffer;

As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.

Trust in the Lord forever,
For in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.

Jesus answered and said to her,
“Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,
but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

Therefore if the Son makes you free,
you shall be free indeed.
