Psalm 34:18 (KJB) The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Romans 4:20 (KJB) He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.

Polluted Fruit from a Lame Bunch
Malachi 1:12-14 (KJB) But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible. 13 Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your ...
