"Only Life Changes"

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
– John 20:29

A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
– Proverbs 12:14-15

Mindset of a fool with that of a wise person. A fool stubbornly believes they are always right, ignoring advice. In contrast, a wise person listens to counsel and benefits from guidance.

Mother’s Day! It highlights the comforting, nurturing nature of a mother’s love, something deeply cherished and revered. Just as a mother console her child, the verse portrays God’s comforting presence and the joy that comes with it. Mother’s Day is a time to reflect on that unconditional love, whether from our own mothers or from mother figures who have shaped our lives.

As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
– Isaiah 66:13-14

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

• John 6:35-37

Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
– Psalms 27:9-10

Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
– John 16:20-21

Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
– Romans 13:7-8

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. –
– Ephesians 2:8-9

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away.
– Matthew 24:35

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
– Hebrews 13:15-16
