By the blessing of the upright
       a city is exalted.

                     Proverbs 11.11

(God has placed you strategically
to impact others
with goodness, kindness, and grace.)

Seek the LORD and His strength,
   seek His presence continually.

                              Psalm 105.4

(My daily bread)

In all toil
   there is profit,
but mere talk
   leads only to want.

            Proverbs 14.23

(Just do it.
Bear fruit in every good work.)

For God so loved the world
that He gave His only Son,
that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have eternal life.
For God sent the Son into the world,
not to condemn the world,
but that the world might be saved
through Him.
                        John 3. 16-17

(Why Jesus came.
      Because of God's love for us.
Let not the familiarity of this verse
diminish its truth.)

He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor requite us according to our iniquities.
For as the heavens are high above the earth,
so great is His steadfast love
       toward those who fear Him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far does He remove
      our transgressions from us.

                        Psalm 103. 10-12

(that is what grace is all about)

Be still,
     and know that I am God.

                     Psalm 46.10

(Abide in Him)

But love your enemies,
            and do good,
and lend,
expecting nothing in return,
and your reward will be great,
and you will be sons of the Most High,
for He is kind
     to the ungrateful and the selfish.
Be merciful,
    even as your Father is merciful.

                                 Luke 6.35
