Ec 2:10 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour. 
Ec 2:11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun. 
Ec 2:12 And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done. 
Ec 2:13 Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
Ec 2:14 The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all. 
Ec 2:15 Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity. 
Ec 2:16 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. 

Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 

Col 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 
Col 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 
Col 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

Ro 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 
Ro 8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Ro 8:26  Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Ro 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 
Ro 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 

Ro 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 
Ro 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?  

Ro 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 
Ro 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,  
Ro 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Truth

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us all through this day in every thing that we say and do. Dear Lord please enter into our thoughts with truth and show us how to present it to others like Jesus presents truth in parables that are ageless and will always contain truth into eternity. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings that You have given us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Quotation:*
Truth does not consist in minute accuracy of detail, but in conveying a right impression; and there are vague ways of speaking that are truer than strict facts would be.  When the Psalmist said, "Rivers of water run down mine eyes, because men keep not thy law," he did not state the fact, but he stated a truth deeper than fact, and truer. -Alford 

KJV*
Ps 100:5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 

Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 

Joh 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 

Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
