TOBIT 8:15-16

 TOBIT 8:15-16

“May you be blessed, O Lord,
with all pure and holy blessings.
May the saints and all your creatures bless you.
May all the angels and the elect bless you forever.
May you be blessed for having filled me with joy.
What I feared has not happened,
but you have treated us with great kindness.

---- mine,

This is how you will praise and give thanks when I answer your prayers. You will no longer sigh, weep, and mourn for the day of rejoicing is coming. Do not lose heart, do not allow your spirit to be cast down, and let hope spring anew for I AM God and all that I have said I will do. Do not be discouraged because what I promised has not yet come to pass. Have faith when the time is right I will do all that I have assured you I will do until then pray with confidence and with expectation. The day of deliverance is at hand. Pray, hope, and fix your gaze on Me. I always keep My promises.

ISAIAH 25:8-9 (2024)

ISAIAH 25:8-9

He will swallow up death forever.
Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces,
and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth,
for the Lord has spoken.
It will be said on that day,
Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited;
let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

---- mine,

Every day is the day of the Lord, every day is a new day to thank Me for the graces and blessing I pour on you and those you love. Every day is a gift for which you must be grateful and thankful. Each new day is another chance to draw nearer to Me, to let go of the things that are an obstacle to real intimacy with Me. You will never be able to lead a life that is truly pleasing to Me as long as you cling to those things that keep you from being wholly Mine. This is why you must use the time given to you every day for as long as that new day lasts, as an opportunity to turn away from sin and to turn to Me with a renewed heart mind, and spirit. And do not be afraid I keep My promises I always keep My promises.
