2011 Bible Verse Four

Hope everyone had a wonderful day of love yesterday!  God really does love you SO MUCH!!!  <3

Today is time for my 4th Bible verse of 2011.  I came across this verse the other day (looking for verses on God’s love for our Valentine’s week to be truthful) and it so greatly touched this worry-wart's heart.

“The LORD your God is with you,

He is mighty to save.

He will take great delight in you,

He will quiet you with His love,

He will rejoice over you with singing”

--Zephaniah 3:17

I know all these amazing blessings, but I want to be able to say this verse back to myself during times of stress, worry, or fear.

My Father God is ALWAYS with me, and He is MIGHTY to save…this so greatly calms the mind of such a worrier like me.

And not only that, He takes GREAT DELIGHT in me and all my crazy.  Wow…makes my heart smile.  :0)

He will quiet me with His love when I am tired or stressed or worried or impatient or annoyed or scared.

He will REJOICE over little ol’ me with singing!  Can you even imagine???  Woo hoo!

And He does this for ALL of us!  Oh, how He loves us so!!! (see song yesterday...love it!)  :0)

Happy Valentine's Day! Jesus Loves You!!!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!  Hope you all have a sweet and wonderful and full-of-love day today!  On this day of amore with all your loved ones, please remember above all that…

Jesus loves you,

this I know,

for the Bible tells me so.

:0)

Today’s Bible verse is one of the greatest statements ever written.  It speaks of God’s overwhelming love for us in sending His own Son to take away our sin and give us the gift of everlasting life with Him in heaven.  Hallelujah!  Praise You and Happy Valentine’s Day, God!

“For God SO LOVED the world

that He gave His one and only Son,

that whoever believes in Him shall not perish

but have eternal life.”

--John 3:16

Have a great Valentine’s Day!  Love & hugs to you all!!!  <3

This is one of my absolute FAVORITE songs right now.  On this day of love, just thought I’d share. :0)

–Psalm 136:26

Jesus Loves Me, This I Know

Hi all!  Hope you are all staying warm!  It’s been COLD outside!!!  Brrr!

Here’s something that I hope will keep you warm…or at least warm your heart a bit.  :0)  With today being a one week before Valentine’s Day, I want to dedicate this week to love.  <3 

Me & Matt in the mirror being goofy and in love.  :0)

Each day I will post a new Bible verse on God’s amazing and wonderful love for each of us…because no matter how much our sweeties or families or friends love us, it is nothing compared to the overwhelming love of our Father God & King.  :0)  I hope each verse makes you sing to yourself…

Jesus loves me, this I know,

for the Bible tells me so.

:0)  Our first verse…

“The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying:

‘I have LOVED you with AN EVERLASTING LOVE;

I have drawn you with LOVING-kindness’.”

--Jeremiah 31:3

2011 Bible Verse Three

Happy February everyone!  February…the month of amore.

*sigh*

Hope you like the new February-look to the blog!  (I figure I’ll try to change the blog’s look each month to make it more relevant and exciting.  My mom and sisters are all school teachers, so I have bulletin board decorating in my veins!  And since this is the closest thing I have to my own personal bulletin board, I figure it’ll be fun to be seasonal / theme-y!  :0)  Yay!!!)

With the start of the new month, it’s also time for another Bible verse! This one has really reached out to my heart recently…

I would have lost heart, unless I had believed

That I would see the goodness of the LORD

In the land of the living.

Wait on the LORD;

Be of good courage,

And He shall strengthen your heart;

Wait, I say, on the LORD!

-- Psalm 27:13-14 (New King James Version)

The NKJ version was the version used in the Bible study that recently pointed it out to me, so that’s the version I am going to memorize.  But here’s the same verse in the NIV translation. (I like this too.)

I remain confident of this:

I will see the goodness of the LORD

in the land of the living.

Wait for the LORD;

be strong and take heart

and wait for the LORD.

--Psalm 27:13-14 (NIV)

I love this verse because it speaks of God’s love and goodness and protection and strength, and it speaks to my tendency to be a total worry-wart.  Do not worry; do not fear.  Wait on the Lord with courage, and He will strength my heart and show me His overwhelming and amazing and loving and life-giving goodness.  Wait with total trust on the loving Lord.

Happy February!  <3
