Tough Decisions

O LORD my God, I cried out to You, And You healed me.

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
