Remain in Me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me.
John 15:4, HCSB
God created a home for us, yet He wants to be with us and to have us want to be with Him. Life is only truly found in Him.
Don’t neglect to do what is good and to share, for God is pleased with such sacrifices.
Hebrews 13:16, HCSB
God created a home for us and called us to love as He loves, so let us find ways to love others well, sacrificially and compassionately, just like Christ.
Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for God’s glory.
1 Corinthians 10:31, HCSB
God created a home for us with all we need to enjoy Him and be with Him, so may we worship and honor Him in everything we do, thanking Him for all good things and every provision.
Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:2, HCSB
God created everything for us and to be with us, yet we often want this world more than Him. Let us be changed by the Holy Spirit to want Him and all that is good, to know good from evil and know Him more.
I have asked one thing from the Lord; it is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, gazing on the beauty of the Lord and seeking Him in His temple.
Psalm 27:4, HCSB
God created everything to give us all home, and He wants to dwell with us. Our greatest desire is to dwell with our God.
Then He told them, “The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath.”
Mark 2:27, HCSB

Therefore we do not give up. Even though our outer person is being destroyed, our inner person is being renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians 4:16, HCSB
We confess Christ, believing that He died and rose again to bring us forgiveness of sins and new life. While we await His return, we may still suffer in this life and long for eternity, but the new life begins inside our souls, giving us hope and not merely wishful thinking.
“Do not remember the past events, pay no attention to things of old. Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.”
Isaiah 43:18-19, HCSB
We confess Christ as our Savior, believing that His death and resurrection has washed away our sins, forgetting our shame, and given us hope for eternity with Him.
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!
