VerseD: Proverbs 22:4
The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.

See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone.

Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
