[Ask, Seek, Knock] Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

2 Corinthians 5:19-20 — from BibleGateway.com’s Verse of the Day
“that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them (emphasis DSC). And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.”

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Psalm 90:12 — from BibleGateway.com
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
.From DSC:
This verse has been a great one, but also a tough one for me. It has taught me that my time here on Earth is very limited — and to try to live life to its fullest (something I’m still trying to get a handle on). It’s been tough in that it has cranked up the internal RPM’s, knowing my life is but a vapor. I believe I will be called to account for how I used what He gave me…and that puts internal pressure on me. I know, I know…this is not everyone’s viewpoint and probably not a healthy response — but these are “the glasses” that I’m looking through at this point in my life.
