I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
John 15:1-2 (KJV)
Looking unto Jesus
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Hebrews 12:2-3 (KJV)
Come, inherit the Kingdom
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Mathew 25:34-36 (KJV)
The Express Image

Hebrews 1:3 (KJV)
What is man?
“LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!”
Psalms 144:3 (KJV)
My shield and glory
“But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.”
Psalms 3:3 (KJV)
Lowliness of mind
“Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.”
Love of God
“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
In His favour is Life
“Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”
His Promise
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
Without murmuring
“Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;”
Singing with Grace
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
Blessed are the servants
“Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.”
Two or Three
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
Delight thyself
Delight thyself
IN THE LORD
“Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”
You are of more value
“But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.”
The liberty to Love
“For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for a occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
Written in Heaven
“Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.”
Worthy of Him
“And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.”
Thoughts of peace
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
