Change your hearts! And show by the way you live that you have changed. I know what you are thinking. You want to say, ‘But Abraham is our father!’ That means nothing. I tell you, God could make children for Abraham from these rocks.
Matthew 3:8-9
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
Even you who are bad know how to give good things to your children. So surely your heavenly Father knows how to give the Holy Spirit to the people who ask him.
Luke 11:13
Just as a father loves his children, so the Lord loves those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence].
Psalm 103:13
Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. God settles the solitary in a home; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
Psalm 68:5-6
How blessed are those who make peace! For they will be called sons of God.
Matthew 5:9
Always remember what is written in that book of law. Speak about that book and study it day and night. Then, you can be sure to obey what is written there. If you do this, you will be wise and successful in everything you do.
Joshua 1:8
"The greatest person in God’s kingdom is the one who makes himself humble like this child. Whoever accepts a little child like this in my name is accepting me. If one of these little children believes in me, and someone causes that child to sin, it will be very bad for that person. It would be better for them to have a millstone tied around their neck and be drowned in the deep sea."
Matthew 18:4-6
Pain handled in God’s way produces a turning from sin to God which leads to salvation, and there is nothing to regret in that! But pain handled in the world’s way produces only death.
2 Corinthians 7:10
