Everyone has a favorite verse or verses in the Bible. I'd never heard of a life verse until about 2 years ago. I didn't know what it was at all. Another blogger Christine Smith describes a life verse this way "Where do you look now, when the meaning of life verse is not in Wikipedia or Merriam Webster? You look inside your own heart for the meaning! Deep down inside, you have a special life poem, life words, life prayer, or life saying. These important words have become your own life verse, the drive behind your decision making process, the motivation for your work, your life vest during an emergency. Life Verse. Important words to an individual person." I could not sum it up any better than that. I was in a the Christian Book Store and found a ring that said *Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5* and I was moved by this. My mom said it was her life verse and I kind of felt bad because it meant something to me. It still does but I like to say I "borrowed" her life verse until I could find one of my own. A verse that speaks to me. Anything I read in the Bible speaks to me, but you know your life verse when you read it. I was reading in Luke and a passage jumped out at me and my heart said "This is it!" So here it is in all it's glory, my life verse *Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. Luke 6:22 * It speaks to me and my beliefs. It reminds me to be faithful in my convictions. It tells me that sometimes to be a strong woman of faith I will be criticized and insulted, but if I am strong and firm I will be blessed. I encourage you to find your life verse if you haven't yet. I encourage you to let the Lord guide you on your journey and help you to be strong in your faith. That He give you the words to speak and stand out and be a mouthpiece for the Lord. Until next time...
