Zephaniah 3:15-17

Sing, O Daughter of Zion;
shout aloud, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
O Daughter of Jerusalem!

The LORD has taken away your punishment,
He has turned back your enemy.
The LORD, the King of Israel, is with you;
never again will you fear any harm.
On that day they will say to Jerusalem,
"Do not fear, O Zion;
do not let your hands hang limp.
The LORD your God is with you,
He is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing."

1Corinthians 13:13

Love, faith and hope are the only things that keeps me running this race and fighting this battle.

I am so thankful I have the Lord.

It is well with my soul.

La vida es Sueño

¿Qué es la vida? Un frenesí.
¿Qué es la vida? Una ilusión,
una sombra, una ficción,
y el mayor bien es pequeño:
que toda la vida es sueño,
y los sueños, sueños son.

La vida es Sueño
(Pedro Calderon de la Barca)

Happy π day!

Faith.

No one shall be forgotten who was great in this world; but everyone was great in his own way, and everyone in proportion to the greatness of what he loved. For he who loved himself became great in himself, and he who loved others became great through his devotion, but he who loved God became greater than all.

One became great through expecting the possible, another by expecting the eternal; but he who expected the impossible became greater than all.

There was one who was great in his strength, and one who was great in his wisdom, and one who was great in hope, and one who was great in love; but greater than all was Abraham,

great is that power whose strength is powerlessness,
great is that wisdom whose secret is folly,
great is that hope whose outward form is insanity,
great is that love which is hatred of self.

---Fear and Trembling
