My Favorites

This is just a handful of some of my favorite bible verses and christian quotes that always speak straight to my heart. Enjoy!

"It is life to be yoked to the Lord." 

John 14:1-4 - Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house there are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I am coming again and I will receive you to Myself, so that where I am you also may be. And where I am going you know the way." 

"When we share the gospel and it is rejected, we must not take it personally. When we share the gospel and it is received, we must not take it personally. Whether rejected or received, we must take neither credit nor blame. 

Psalm 3:6-8 - I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side. Arise, Lord! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked. From the Lord comes deliverance.

Isaiah 44:22 - I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.

"When you are pursuing love, running towards Christ, you do not have the opportunity to wonder, 'am I doing this right?' or, 'did I serve enough this week?' When you are running toward Christ, you are freed up to serve, love, and give thanks without guilt, worry, or fear. As long as you are running, you're safe." - Francis Chan

Deuteronomy 20:1,4 - When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours, do not be afraid of them, because the Lord your God, who brought you up out of Egypt, will be with you. For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.

Joshua 23:14 - And now know in your hearts and in all your souls that not a word has failed of all the good things that Jehovah your God spoke concerning you. All has come to pass for you; not one word of it has failed.

Lamentations 3:21-23 - Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

"It is not a question of God allowing or not allowing certain things to happen. It is a part of living. Some things we do to ourselves, other things we do to each other. Our Father knows about every bird which falls to the ground, but He does not always prevent it from falling. What are we to learn from this? That our response to what happens is more important than what happens. Here is a mystery: one man's experience drives him to curse God, while another man's identical experience drives him to bless God. Your response to what happens is more important than what happens." -Chip Brogden

Isaiah 49:14-16 - But Zion has said, Jehovah has forsaken me. The Lord has forgotten me. Can a mother forget her nursing child, that she would not have compassion on the son of her womb? Though they may forget, yet I will not forget you. Indeed, I have engraved you upon the palms of my hands. Your walls are continually before Me.

Isaiah 40:28-31 - Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. he will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

"A writer- and, I believe, generally all persons- must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments; all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art." -Jorge Luis Borges 

Hebrews 13:5-6 - For He Himself has said, I shall by no means give you up, neither by any means shall I abandon you, so that being of good courage we say, The Lord is my Helper, I shall not fear. What can man do to me?
