O that Jesus Christ may be very precious to me, as he is to all who believe; 1 Peter 2:7(NIV) that he may be in my account outstanding among ten thousand, Song of Solomon 5:10(NIV) and altogether lovely; and that he may be my lover and my friend: Song of Solomon 5:16(NIV) That though I have not seen him, yet I may love him; and even though I do not see him now, I may believe in him and be filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy. 1 Peter 1:89NIV)
Let Christ’s love for me constrain me to live no longer for myself, but for him who died for me and was raised again. 2 Corinthians 5:14-15(NIV)
