DISCOTHEQUE

You know you're chewing bubble gum
You know what that is but you still want some
You just can't get enough of that lovey-dovey stuff
Everything I wanted I tookーI never said no to myself. I gave into every impulse, held back nothing. Ecclesiastes 2:9-10 MSG

​You who are young.... Follow the impulses of your heart. If something looks good to you, pursue it. Ecclesiastes 11:9 MSG
It's the way that you don't pay that's okay, 'cause you can't earn it
If you’re a hard worker and do a good job, you deserve your pay; we don’t call your wages a gift. But if... you could never do it for yourself no matter how hard and long you worked—well, that trusting-him-to-do-it is.... Sheer gift. Romans 4:4-5 MSG
 
It was nothing you could or did achieve—it was God’s gift to you. No one can pride himself upon earning the love of God. Ephesians 2:4-10 PHILLIPS
 
​For it is by grace you have been saved, through faithーand this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of Godーnot by works... Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV
 
But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace. Romans 11:6 NASB
You want heaven in your heart
Heaven in your heart...
But you take what you can get
'Cause it's all that you can find
Oh you know there's something more
He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV
 
Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11 NKJV
