Since this is an amazing thread, I'll put down a lot of my favorite scriptures!
For man looks at the outward appearances, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7
-------------
They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We're sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.
Romans 8:35 (The Message)
--------------
I'm ready, God, so ready,
ready from head to toe,
Ready to sing, ready to raise a tune:
"Wake up, soul!
Wake up, harp! wake up, lute!
Wake up, you sleepyhead sun!"
Psalm 57:7 (The Message)
-----------------
Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours be done.
Luke 22:42 (NKJV)
----------------
Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life--in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.
Philippians 2:14-16
-------------
"What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim upon the housetops!"
Matthew 10:27 [The Message]
