Reflection

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
