IN GOD'S COUNTRY

She is liberty
And she comes to rescue me
Hope, faith, her vanity
The greatest gift is gold
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. ​1 Corinthians 13:13 NIV
I stand with the sons of Cain
Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it." Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. Genesis 4:6-8 NIV
Burned by the fire of love
​Burned by the fire of love
Place me like a seal over your heart... for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Song of Songs 8:6 NIV
