Strength, Fortress, and Refuge

O Lord, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in time of distress, to you the nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, “Our fathers possessed nothing but false gods, worthless idols that did them no good. Do men make their own gods? Yes, but they are not gods!” “Therefore I will teach them- this time I will teach them my power and might. Then they will know that my name is the Lord.- Jeremiah 16:19-21

 

Love Is of God

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.-  1 John 4:7-8
