Taylor Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 "God's love is meteoric, His loyalty astronomic, His purpose titanic, His verdicts oceanic. Yet in his largeness nothing gets lost; not a man, not a mouse slips through the cracks. How exquisite Your love, Oh God!" Psalm 36:5-6 Quote
Beryl Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 That is great, Taylor. Doesn't it make us feel special! Quote "Grace is God doing for us, in us and through us that which He requires of us but which is impossible for us to do in or for ourselves." But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Cor. 12:9.
Taylor Posted March 2, 2006 Author Posted March 2, 2006 Ya! I loved it! I like it when another translation or paraphrase makes an "old well known text" just come alive and sparkle. Here is another favorite, same paraphrase: For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 Quote
Pockey Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 ^I love Jeremiah 29:11-13. One of my favorite passages. Isn't the one you quoted from the NIV though? Here's The Message paraphrase: I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out--plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. "When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen. When you come looking for me, you'll find me. Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I'll make sure you won't be disappointed." GOD's Decree Quote
