Verse of the Week

"The high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, the Holy One, says this: I live in that high and holy place where those with contrite, humble spirits dwell; and I refresh the humble and give new courage to those with repentant hearts.  For I will not fight against you forever, nor always show my wrath; if I did, all mankind would perish—the very souls that I have made.  I was angry and smote these greedy men. But they went right on sinning, doing everything their evil hearts desired.  I have seen what they do, but I will heal them anyway!  I will lead them and comfort them, helping them to mourn and to confess their sins. Peace, peace to them, both near and far, for I will heal them all. But those who still reject me[a] are like the restless sea, which is never still, but always churns up mire and dirt.  There is no peace, says my God, for them!"
