Metanoeite CXLXXIV

"Love each other just as much as I love you."

Everybody told me to give up on him.

"Not Me."

"How can I give you up, O Ephraim!
How can I hand you over, O Israel!
For I am God and not man,
The Holy One
in
your midst."

Metanoeite CXLXXIII

"Do not think of yourself more highly than you should...I advise
every last one of you not to overestimate your importance."

So many people are so thin-skinned.

"It takes one to know one."

"Therefore, in all your dealings with people,
treat them as you want to be treated.
This, in a nutshell, is the essence
of all our moral and religious
principles."

Metanoeite CXLXXII

"God loves the world so much that..."

As a mosquito flew into my nose during the downswing on the 15th tee, I thought of an old friend who warned, "Just one flea can make a big dog itch."

"Even when you're really annoying, I don't swat you away."

"As a hen gathers her chicks under her wings..."

Metanoeite CXLXXI

"The Word became flesh...full of grace and truth."

I may be wrong.

"True!"

"God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him."

Metanoeite CXLXX

"The truth will set you free."

If I say everything's great, people know I'm lying; but if I say everything's not great, people don't like it.

"I tell you to tell the truth."

"I am the way, the truth, and the life."

Metanoeite CXLXIX

"A Sabbath rest remains for God's people."

I'm weary and wearing out.

"Come to Me for regenerating rest."

"Let us make every effort to enter that rest."

Metanoeite CXLXVIII

"And when you fast..."

Lord, I'm not really into it.

"You still don't get it."

"I will honor those who honor Me."
