1 Corinthians 16:9 (KJV)
[9] For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
Earth's fairest flowers grow not on sunny plain,
But where some vast upheaval tore in twain
The smiling land.
After the whirlwind's devastating blast,
And molten lava, fire, and ashes fall,
God's still small voice breathes healing over all.
From broken rocks and fern-clad chasms deep,
Flow living waters as from hearts that weep,
There in the afterglow soft dews distill
And angels tend God's plants when night falls still,
And the Beloved passing by the way
Will gather lilies at the break of day.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (KJV)
[14] Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Be Not Unequally Yoked.
Don’t confuse your ability to accept diversity and mix and then lose your soul.
Somethings are not meant to cohabit together!

Isaiah 35:10 (KJV)
[10] And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Ransomed: those that are reclaimed by payment of a ransom.
The benefits of those bought with the price of Calvary’s blood are unbelievable.
• Songs and Everlasting Joy
• The Obtaining of Joy and Gladness
• Sorrow and Sighing shall Flee

1 Corinthians 8:1-3 (KJV)
[1] Now as touching things offered unto idols, (we know) that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but (charity) edifieth.
Charity is Love.
To Love Someone Is Greater than Knowing Them.
To Love God Is Greater Than Just Knowing Him.

Ecclesiastes 2:16 (KJV)
[16] For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.
Death is the final frontier. In the cycle of Life the very comprehension of Death can be Revelatory. Not in fear but rather as an Equalizer, because 1st we will all succumb to this end.
And then because it can bring into (perspective) and (clarity) that the very things we become obsessed with are really of no Importance. (Eternity Wise) Because (all) will be forgotten in time. The antidote to the problem?
