true treasures.

 I've been really searching God's Word more than ever before, and finding some AMAZING verses (all the New International Version). The Scriptures are so important to me! 

Lamentations 3:22-23 
"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning, great is your faithfulness." 

2 Corinthians 1:3-7
 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort."

Proverbs 17:17

"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity."

Romans 13:14
"Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh."

Philippians 2:13
"For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fill his good purpose."

Psalm 46:1 
"For God is our ever-present help in times of trouble.

Psalm 139:23-24
"Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

2 Corinthians 4:8-9
"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed, perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not abandoned, struck down, but not destroyed."

Romans 12:21
"Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

I've been trying to umm what are the right words? pay more attention to the Word too. I like these verses:

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Matthew 10:29-31
