"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach the good news to the poor. He has sent me
to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the
year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengence of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion - to
bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a
spirit of despair." ~ Isaiah 61:1-3a NIV
" Jesus replied, 'If
anyone loves me, he
will obey my teaching.
My Father will love him,
and we will come to
him and make our
home with him.'"
~ John 14:23 NIV
