“They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”

 whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things 

 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. 

  Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. 

 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. 

Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story...

 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
