Hebrews 4:15-16

There is no healing
apart from the holiness of God.
nor hope,
apart from His mercy.
nor love,
apart from His friendship.
nor salvation,
apart from His blood.
Rejoice!
for He is not far from you!
He is not alien
to your humanity

nor to your infirmity.
~
For we do not have a high priest
who is unable
to empathize
with our weaknesses,

but we have one who
has been tempted
in every way,
just as we are—
yet he did not sin.
Let us then with confidence
draw near to the throne of grace,
that we may receive mercy
and find grace to help
in time of need.
