...above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. - Matthew 6:33 (NLT)

 

For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be upon his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)

Elizabeth gave a glad cry and exclaimed to Mary, “God has blessed you above all women, and your child is blessed. Why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should visit me? When I heard your greeting, the baby in my womb jumped for joy. You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel -Nicole C. Mullen

O come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind;
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease,
And be Thyself our King of Peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice!

O Holy Night - Celine Dion

Her version of this is my favorite because she doesn’t make it about herself.

Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.

Matthew 11:28-30 (via thesenatorsquarters)

We answer to God, not to each other; therefore, we are not to judge one another in a critical way.

Joyce Meyer, Battlefield of the Mind
