The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end."

And a sword will pierce your own soul to too."

1 John 4:10
Love leads to hope. Hope does not disappoint.

Romans 5:3-5
We who are strong ought to bare with the feelings of the weak and not please ourselves.
