ZOEY "AS THE SCRIPTURE SAID IN ROMANS 8:38-39 - For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord," said the parish father. He conducts Olivia's father's eulogy before being buried on the ground. Yes, we are here for Olivia's father's funeral at the cemetery. "Kenneth, our beloved brother, is now at our father's side. There will be no pain. There will be no illness there. Dear Lord, I cry for those of us who have been left behind, for the lonely ones who have hollows in our hearts. I pray You to c

Xavier's infectious laughter filled the room, lifting my spirits and setting a joyful tone for the day. As we savored the last bites of our breakfast, I suggested that we delve into the spiritual realm by studying a passage from the Bible. I asked Xavier to retrieve two bibles from the shelf, and he eagerly obliged, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. We settled in the cozy living room, the soft sunlight casting a warm glow upon us. Opening the sacred book, we turned to Psalm 22:3-15, a passage that spoke of trust in God's providence and deliverance in times of trouble.

Mr Jayson said. "What do you mean? I demand an answer," Aiden yelled holding the bars of the cell. "I chose this cell for you and gave you a bible to read. The answer you seek from me, if you are smart as they say, is in Romans 8:18," Mr Jayson said and turned to walk away. "I am not into your religious shit. Why am I here?" Aiden yelled but Mr Jayson continued to walk away. "Just draw close to Christ for once and read the scripture I gave you, He will give you an answer," Mr Jayson said and left the place.

He wasn't sure his explanation was getting to her, but he knew it would later when she wanted it to. “Those words you see are from the scripture, the Gospel of Matthew.” He said. “And Jesus, when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him.” Grace read the words out, and Noah smiled. “I'm sure what they mean doesn't occur to you yet, but it will, I promise.” He said. Grace said nothing, or maybe she couldn't, and was already pondering on what the words meant.

"In Jeremiah 30, verse 17, he says he will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord." "Deuteronomy 31:6 also says that we should not be afraid or terrified because of them, because the Lord your God is with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you and according to Mark 10:27, Jesus glanced at them and remarked, 'With man, it is impossible, but not with God' For with God, anything is possible, so why don't you lean on Him? Things may not be going well for you right now, but strive to find peace within yourself and you will enjoy your time here on Earth."

said the pastor. After a while, the reading started, "reading from the Apostle Paul, The first letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 13, verses 4 through 7: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Father, as [Red and Chelsea] pledge themselves to each other, help them and bless them that their love may be pure, and their vows may be true. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen."

He'd forgiven several others by making love to them and returning them home and they'd died. Taking their lives themselves. Too willing to be with The Lord, perhaps. His crown of thorns still on his head, he traced sweet kisses down her abdomen till he reached her private part. His blood smeared across her Ivory skin and the sight only excited him more. Reaching the V part of her body he began to chant a verse in a very soft voice, his lips grazing her skin, John 20:23 "If you forgive the sins of any, they're forgiven them: If you retain the sins of any, they are retained"

His expression suggested he was quickly losing the will to live and most definitely regretting the lesson plan. "You don't have to look so sad." Damien shrugged, seeing the teacher’s dire expression. "It's just a lame theory I came up with off the top of my head." Mr Porter's lips twitched into a smile. "John 1:14: The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us," Mr Porter uttered. "Have you read the bible?" Damien grinned. "Only the good bits." This statement made Mr Porter laugh. "It's all good." "All the time," Damien added quietly.

¶¶ And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth... ~ 2 Timothy 2 vs 24 - 25 ¶¶ Last night, Isabelle and Joel had gone from plotting Loveth's road to freedom to small talks on the most trivial things.

BEFORE THEN Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die” The priest turned to us, “Do you believe this?” “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed aw-“ His soothing voice fazed into Jacquelines ear as she realized it was a thought.
