This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the LORD. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the LORD. “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” Jeremiah 31:33-34
“The Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion”
Isaiah 30:18
“Dear God, please set me free from sinful patterns. Help me to turn to You when I’m tempted to find relief in something else.” From Our Daily Bread
“Abba is so close to us, closer than breathing, closer than living, closer than dying. So close that you can’t find him because there are no faculties that can recognize this mystery. It’s so direct that the only place we can experience its fullness is in the light of glory where there are no more human veils or limitations to shield us from the full force of the divine light – light – the unconditional love.” Fr Thomas Keating
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Matthew 6:21
“Having money is a responsibility. I can use it selfishly, or with a sensitivity to other’s needs. God gave us temporal things to use. My wealth counts not in what I keep but in what I give away. Lord, you will judge me by how I use the things of which I am only a steward. The only riches we take from this world are those we have given away.”
