But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or his stature, because I have rejected him. Man does not see what the LORD sees, for man sees what is visible, but the LORD sees the heart." 1 Samuel 16:8 


Therefore let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us at the proper time.  Hebrews 4:16


Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. According to His great mercy, He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that is imperishable, uncorrupted, and unfading, kept in heaven for you...1 Peter 1:3-4


Though the fig tree does not bud and there is no fruit on the vines...
yet I will triumph in the LORD; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!
Habakkuk 3:17a-18 


The grass withers, the flowers fade, but the word of our God remains forever.
Isaiah 40:8


Who is wise and understanding among you?
He should show his works by good conduct with wisdom's gentleness.  James 3:13


The LORD your God is among you, a warrior who saves. He will rejoice over you with gladness.
He will bring quietness with His love. He will delight in you with shouts of joy.
Zephaniah 3:17
