Isaiah 9:2-3
The people who walked in
darkness
have seen a great light;
those who dwelt in a land of deep
darkenss,
on them has light shined.
You have multiplied the nation;
you have increased its joy;
they rejoice before you
as with joy at the harvest.
as they are glad when they
divide the spoil.





Psalm 23
The Lord is My Shepherd
The Lord is my shepherd; I
shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green
pastures.
he leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of
righteousness
for his name's sake.


1 John 4:7-8
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Isaiah 9:2-3
Before those people lived in
darkness,
but now they have seen a great
light.
They lived in a dark land,
but a light has shone on them.
God, you have caused the nation
to grow
and made the people happy.
And they have shown their
happiness to you,
like the joy during harvest
time
like the joy of people
taking what they have won in war.


Psalm 23
The Lord the Shepherd
The Lord is my shepherd;
I have everything I need.
He lets me rest in green pastures.
He leads me to calm water.
He gives me new strength.
He leads me on paths that are
right
for the good of his name.



1 John 4:7-8
Dear friends, we should love each other, because loves comes from God. Everyone who loves has become God's child and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
