“Don’t copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God
transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then
you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how
good and pleasing and perfect his will really is.”
Romans 12:2 (NLT)

“When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—the
moon and the stars you set in place—what are mortals that you
should think of us, mere human beings that you should care for us?
For you made us only a little lower than God and you crowned us
with glory and honour.” Psalm 8:3-5 (NLT)
