Matthew 5: 11-12
[sup]11[/sup] “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. [sup]12[/sup] Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

For I am the LORD, your God, who grasp your right hand; It is I who say to you, Fear not, I will help you. -Isaiah 41:13

"Then he said to them, 'Go your way, eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord; and do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." - Nehemiah 8:10.

"When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand upon me, saying, 'Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one; I died, and behold I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.'" - Revelation 1:17 -18.

In the end I excluded the Gospels from my choice, as it was making it too difficult to select just one quotation. In the end I still didn't manage to get just one!

I like the first because of the way it links joy and generosity. Meditating on it, I think of the self-giving of the Trinity, and how we experience God in such a profound way when we give ourselves as He gives Himself - His joy. The second is also a favourite for my meditation, particularly, "I am the first, the last, and the living one." I think about that for hours in Adoration.

Jer 20:7-9

7
You seduced me,[url="http://www.usccb.org/bible/jeremiah/jeremiah20.htm#30020007-1"][sup]*[/sup][/url] LORD, and I let myself be seduced;
you were too strong for me, and you prevailed.
All day long I am an object of laughter;
everyone mocks me.

8
Whenever I speak, I must cry out,
violence and outrage I proclaim;
The word of the LORD has brought me
reproach and derision all day long.

9
I say I will not mention him,
I will no longer speak in his name.
But then it is as if fire is burning in my heart,
imprisoned in my bones;
I grow weary holding back,
I cannot!
