I am sorry, notmyown.

There are others, but some Scripture very impt are John 14 2, with God's promise of mansions above (we have a simple house=) which is a preference here, but when there is no more sin and depreciation, depravity, sin, what God has prepared for us above, whatever that is, would be the best)... Also Matt. 6.21 about not storing riches on earth.

There are children's songs that i esp love to sing on these. Here's the second verse in song:

There are just so many, and He has caused me to love truth above all, so I love all the truthful ones the best. :p Seriously though the first one that came to mind for me was

Luke 23:28
But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children."

This was while Jesus was carrying the cross to be crucified on, after being flogged, rejected, and sentenced to death. He was talking to the women he saw on that walk, they were wailing for Him when He says this. What an example for us He was, and to me His supreme goodness is what sticks out like a city on a hill in this passage, only to be followed in 23:34 with Jesus saying “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”, what a God we have!!!

Not only that, but it blows my mind even more when I read Psalms 22 and see how this was foretold way before Jesus was ever born. Completely inspiring to me. :D Great topic.

Today(subject to change)

Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faithon the earth?

It inspires me to look inward to the Spirit of faith, Christ's, the Holy Spirit of God. The treasure we have in these earthen bodies of death . That work of Christ’s faith working in us according to His three day labor of love gives us the confidence that if he has begun the good work of salvation he will finish it to the end .(the receiving of the promise our new incorrupteible bodies ).

2Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.


He must increase we must decrease. We walk according to His faith not of ourselves but the new faith that is accompanied with our new spirit and heart. as that does alone that comes from hearing Him as he gives us ears to hear what the Spirit says .

It brings the peace of God (God is not a human as us) that surpasses all human understanding as the understanding or interpretation of God and not the private interpretations of us.

(Mal 3:5 KJV) And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.

(Deu 24:19 KJV) When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.

(Deu 24:20 KJV) When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

(Deu 24:21 KJV) When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

(Jer 7:6 KJV) If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:

(Jer 22:3 KJV) Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.

(Ezek 22:7 KJV) In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.

(Zec 7:10 KJV) And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.

(Exo 22:21 KJV) Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

(Exo 23:9 KJV) Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

(Lev 19:34 KJV) But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

(Lev 25:35 KJV) And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.

(Deu 1:16 KJV) And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.

(Deu 10:18 KJV) He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.

(Deu 10:19 KJV) Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Micah 6:6-8 6 Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
