Matthew 5:1-12
Blessings
Jesus’ disciples gathered around him, 2 and he taught them:
3 God blesses those people who depend only on him.
They belong to the kingdom of heaven!
4 God blesses those people who grieve.
They will find comfort!
5 God blesses those people who are humble.
The earth will belong to them!
6 God blesses those people who want to obey him more than to eat or drink.
They will be given what they want!
7 God blesses those people who are merciful.
They will be treated with mercy!
8 God blesses those people whose hearts are pure.
They will see him!
9 God blesses those people who make peace.
They will be called his children!
10 God blesses those people who are treated badly for doing right.
They belong to the kingdom of heaven.

**11 God will bless you when people insult you, mistreat you, and tell all kinds of evil lies about you because of me. **
12 Be happy and excited! You will have a great reward in heaven. People did these same things to the prophets who lived long ago.
 
Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen
 
The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply, “Have you no fear of God, for you are subject to the same condemnation? 41 And indeed, we have been condemned justly, for the sentence we received corresponds to our crimes, but this man has done nothing criminal.” 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43 He replied to him, “Amen I say to you today you will be with me in Paradise.”
 
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

If any words in the Gospel melt the heart of the true Christian, they are these.
 
Apart from soul stirring conversations between David and G-d, and situations like these ones:

For you are a people holy to the L-rd your God. The L-rd your Gd has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.

Then Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, "Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land which the L-rd has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall give it to them as an inheritance. The L-rd is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.

there’re also things that make me laugh like

“We want meat!” i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu38/KatLore/Emoticons/smilie_wut_117_zpsecac3636.gif

or when Gd told Abraham what Sarah had said and it was much more kind lol than her original message
 
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved…Romans 10:9
 
From John:
27"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29"My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.…

Also Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, saith the Lord. Plans for a hope and a future.
