Encouragement - Christian e-cards

He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,
To the soul who seeks Him.

Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens;
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

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

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,
for He who promised is faithful.

Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
For the help of His countenance.

Even so it is not the will of your Father
who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.

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.

But concerning the dead, that they rise,
have you not read in the book of Moses,
in the burning bush passage,
how God spoke to him, saying,
‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob’?

He is not the God of the dead,
but the God of the living.

Of old You laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
They will perish, but You will endure;
Yes, they will all grow old like a garment;
Like a cloak You will change them,
And they will be changed.
But You are the same,
And Your years will have no end.

Be my strong refuge,
To which I may resort continually;
You have given the commandment to save me,
For You are my rock and my fortress.

O God, You are more awesome than Your holy places.
The God of Israel is He who gives strength
and power to His people.

Ho! Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.

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

Therefore, having been justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Then the earth shall yield her increase;
God, our own God, shall bless us.
God shall bless us,
And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.

God be merciful to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us,
Selah.

He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

Forever, O Lord,
Your word is settled
in heaven.

The Lord on high is mightier
Than the noise of many waters,
Than the mighty waves of the sea.

Blessed be the Lord,
Who daily loads us with benefits,
The God of our salvation!
Selah

Though He causes grief,
Yet He will show compassion
According to the multitude of His mercies.

Casting all your care upon Him,
for He cares for you.
