But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
Hab 2:20

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John 4:24

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
John 8:12

Jesus wept.
John 11:35

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
1 John 4:8

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1 John 4:1-2

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
Luke 4:18

....be thankful unto him, and bless his name, for the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Ps 100:4-5
