The Daily Light

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
  • The world passeth away, and the lust thereof. -- Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches. and knoweth not who shall gather them. -- What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
  • Martha, Martha, thou are careful and troubled about many things: but one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. -- I would have you without carefulness.
  • These things I have spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world. -- The Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. -- The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: the Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: the Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
