As Far as the East is from the West...

9 He will not always accuse,

nor will He harbor His anger forever;

10 He does not treat us as our sins deserve

or repay us according to our iniquities.

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear Him;

12 as far as the east is from the west,

so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

~ Psalm 103:9-12 (NIV)

He Searches the Heart

9 The heart is deceitful above all things
    and beyond cure.
    Who can understand it?

10 “I the Lord search the heart
    and examine the mind,
to reward each person according to their conduct,
    according to what their deeds deserve.”

~ Jeremiah 17:9-10

Save Yourself

One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!"

But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he said, "since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong."

Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."

Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."

~ Luke 23:39-43

Act When You Can

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act.

~ Proverbs 3:27
