Saying Goodbye

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.

The steps of a man are ordered by the LORD who takes delight in his journey.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.

For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence.

Finally, brothers, rejoice! Aim for perfect harmony, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
