For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved. - Henri Nouwen

For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. Ps. 149:4

Here are the verses I spoke about what God proclaims over you. Let them marinate and permeate your heart. Have a blessed week! Psalm 8:3-5 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? 5 You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. Revelation 7:9 9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither servant nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height...The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. John 15:15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
