"steadfast love" was in Psalms 136 26 times! Pretty cool huh? Kinda makes you realize really how much God loves us. He writes "To him who made the great lights, for his steadfast love endures forever; the sun to rule over the day, for his steadfast love endures forever; the moon and the stars to rule over the night, his steadfast love endures forever..." and he goes on like that for 26 verses. Really grained the thought in my mind for a long time. "give thanks to the Lord for he is good., for his steadfast love endures forever"

Psalm 139:1

Lord, you have searched me and known me!...

Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O lord, you know me altogether

Psalms 139:13-16

For you have formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mothers womb. I praise you, for i am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it well. My frame was not hidden form you... Your eyes say my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was were none of them

Psalm 141:3

Set a guard, O lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips! Do not let my heart incline for any evil to busy myself with wicked deeds

Revelations

Sometimes I feel SO lost in Revelations buttt today, I LOVED it :)
"After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice:
                      "Salvation belongs to our God,
                       who sits on the throne,
                       and to the Lamb."
All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying:
                     "Amen!
                      Praise and glory
                      and wisdom and thanks and honor
                      and power and strength
                      be to our God forever and ever.
                      Amen!"
Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they. and where did they come from?"
I answered, "Sir, you know."
And he said, "There are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore,
     "they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

Revelations 7:9-17

How AWESOME is that?!?!

Jonah was awesome, loved it.
Verses :) :
"In my distress I called to the LORD,
       and he answered me.
       From the depths of the grave ^[a] I called for help,
       and you listened to my cry.
You hurled me into the deep,
       into the very heart of the seas,
       and the currents swirled about me;
       all your waves and breakers
       swept over me.
 I said, 'I have been banished
       from your sight;
       yet I will look again
       toward your holy temple.'
The engulfing waters threatened me, ^[b]
       the deep surrounded me;
       seaweed was wrapped around my head.
To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
       the earth beneath barred me in forever.
       But you brought my life up from the pit,
       O LORD my God.
"When my life was ebbing away,
       I remembered you, LORD,
       and my prayer rose to you,
       to your holy temple.
"Those who cling to worthless idols
       forfeit the grace that could be theirs.
But I, with a song of thanksgiving,
       will sacrifice to you.
       What I have vowed I will make good.
       Salvation comes from the LORD."

Jonah 2:1-9

I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity.

Jonah 4:1

1 John 2: 15

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him...

and the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever

Psalm 121:5

The lord is your keeper, the lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The lord will keep your going our and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.

1 John 4:10

In this is love,not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another
