The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and He saves those who are crushed in spirit. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. So Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him. Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing.
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. Even sinners love the people who love them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
