Loving-kindness

Expressions of Love
.
(S)he who trusts in, relies on, and confidently leans on the Lord shall be compassed about with mercy and with loving-kindness.

Show Your marvelous loving-kindness, O You Who save by Your right hand those who trust and take refuge in You

Let Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, be upon us, in proportion to our waiting and hoping for You.

And with great strength and ability and power the apostles delivered their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace (loving-kindness and favor and goodwill) rested richly upon them all.

But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!

For we also were once thoughtless and senseless, obstinate and disobedient, deluded and misled; slaves to all sorts of cravings and pleasures, wasting our days in malice and jealousy and envy, hateful (hated, detestable) and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving-kindness of God our Savior to man [as man] appeared, He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but because of His own pity and mercy, by [the] cleansing [bath] of the new birth (regeneration) and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

Psalm 32:10 Psalm 17:7 Psalm 33:22 Acts 4:33 2 Corinthians 12:9 Titus 3:4

To renew you love for Christ, review (remember) His love for yoou.
