SCRIPTURES: (NIV unless noted)


Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he
will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)


But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and
vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and
steal. Matthew 6:20


 I consider that our present sufferings are
not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
Romans 8:18


Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting
away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light
and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that
far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,
but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what
is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18


And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him
to be head over everything for the church, which is his
body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every
way. Ephesians 1:22-23


For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not
stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with
the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and
understanding that the Spirit gives.
Colossians 1:9


In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ
Jesus for you.1 Thessalonians 5:18


If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they
would have had opportunity to
return. 16 Instead, they were longing
for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not
ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a
city for them. Hebrews 11:15-16


For it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:16
