scripture
Romans 5:1-5
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
En Espanol, Romanos 5:1-5

scripture
Romans 12:6-8
We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

scripture
1 Peter 2:4-8
As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him— you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame." [Isaiah 28:16] Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, "The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone," [Psalm 118:22] and, "A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall." [Isaiah 8:14] They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.

Open this book and discover how God created the world, watched it turn against His purpose, lived among us, was still rejected because He didn’t fit expectations, turning everything upside down to get things back on track, and now invites you to find your place in the story of God.

James 1:2-4
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
En Espanol, Santiago 1:2-4
quote
God sees with utter clarity who we are. He is undeceived as to our warts and wickedness. But when God looks at us that is not all He sees. He also sees who we are intended to be, who we will one day become.

Proverbs 18:2
A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions.
En Espanol, Proverbios 18:2
Thought
I am currently spending a lot of time in my personal study in Proverbs. If you spend any time at all in Proverbs, you soon realize one theme that keeps coming up is control of one’s tongue and the idea that one who is seeking wisdom should be slow to speak. This idea is reinforced by James in the New Testament. It is truly an extremely hard thing to control. So much damage can be done in so little time that may never be undone. I know I am challenged daily to be “quick to listen and slow to speak” and to not “delight in airing my own opinion”.

It is the province of knowledge to speak and it is the privilege of wisdom to listen.

John 21:25
Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
En Espanol, Juan 21:25
thought
I love this last verse in the book of John. John thinks back on all that he has written about Jesus and says, There was also so much more that Jesus did but there’s no way I could record them all! There is not enough room on this earth to contain all the books that would be filled. There is not enough parchment, ink, or time to do so.
