Love/Forgiveness/ Criticism/Sovereignty
Col. 3:12-15 12 So, as
those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of
compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; 13 bearing with one
another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone;
just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. 14 Beyond all these things
put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. 15 Let the peace of Christ
rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be
thankful.
Security/Confidence/Our strength
Ps. 71:1-6 1 In You, O
Lord, I have taken refuge; Let
me never be ashamed. 2 In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; for
You are my rock and my fortress. 4 Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of
the wicked, out of the grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man, 5 for You
are my hope; O Lord God, You
are my confidence from my youth. 6 By You I have been sustained from my
birth; You are He who took me from my mother’s womb; My praise is
continually of You. Incline Your ear to me and save me.

Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?”
