Helpful Bible Verses

-

      Hiya! Here are some bible verses that are helpful at times:


1 Corinthians 13:4-7

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres

👆 To me, this verse is a reminder. If GOD is love and I want to be like HIM then I have to work on the things mentioned. Being patient, kind, not envying, not boasting, not being proud, not dishonoring others, not being selfish or, as said in the verse, self-seeking. I should try not to be easily angered and remember for later what wrong anyone else has done so that I can hold it against them. And I should not be happy when someone does something wrong or feel good about any of my sins, but instead rejoice in the LORD and be happy about good things. I should always trust in JESUS and in what is right, hope for things of GOD and have faith. I don't fully understand the protect and preserve part.


1 Peter 2:21 

For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.


I like this one!!! 👆 Because JESUS died on the cross, I can now see to follow HIS good example and not be afraid of death because I know that JESUS will take me to be with him. 


Galatians 5:22-23

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

👆I like knowing that if I have the HOLY SPIRIT in me then these fruits can be shown in me, which leads to the next one.


Matthew 7:16-17

16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

👆 I want to be known by good fruits and not for evil.

Don't step out on your own

  Stepping out on your own should be scary.      Everyone likes to go with the flow. Some people, like me, dream of doing things differently. We see these movies and videos everywhere about people who made a difference, a change in the world, by turning a different way from the rest of the world. What everyone else said was right might have been wrong. Or maybe people were making choices, but somebody realized there's a better way and acted on it. Whatever the reason, whether anyone stood by them or not, these people did what they thought was right. They went a new way.      Now being alone is scary. It's much easier to follow a path someone else has travelled than to pave your own. Have you ever wanted to step onto an unknown path, but instead planted your foot in dense jungle, so you immediately retreat back to the main road? Yeah! That unknown path you were looking for, it was created by somebody else. There's nothing unknown about it. And all the c...

 Does Burn the Ships Mean Forget the Past? (How do I not look back?)       Galations 5:1      For freedom CHRIST has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.      So all who have faith in JESUS, that he died for our sins and rose again so that one day, either when we die or on the last day, we he will bring us to life in heaven with Him, are free. All that believe in JESUS are free. But how do we stand firm? And what is a yoke of slavery?      Well, to answer the first question, let me say this: we cannot do any good thing, or even anything at all on our own. Standing firm requires faith and trust. According to biblekeeper.com, "Faith is the first step, where individuals choose to believe in GOD's promises and redemptive plan." "Trust is a deep belief and reliance on GOD's character, wisdom, and promises. It acts as a steadfast foundation,  particularly when faced with trials t...
