Have you ever had a verse leap off the pages of the Bible and imprint on your heart and mind? A verse that will stay with you for the rest of your life, that you can build your life on.
I Corinthian 2:2 I am determined to know nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
When I read this verse God planted it deep in my heart as a foundation for my life. It fills me with joy every time I hear that verse or see it written.
Job 26:7 He stretches the north and hangs the earth on nothing
Another verse that brings joy and peace to my life. What a verse to build one's trust in God on. The trials in my life became easier to bear knowing that God who hangs the earth on nothing lives inside of me.
John 4:19 We love because He first loved us.
I love this short verse that packs a truth that is bigger than the world. His love lives inside of us and nothing can separate us from His love. Just knowing the God of the universe loves me unconditionally and He will never stop loving me even when I sin gives me strength to walk this earth in my frailness.
The Word of God is alive and gives us a touch of heaven when we read and believe. The power of the Holy Spirit inside us will leap with joy overflowing when we put our trust in God. He is our source of a touch of heaven in this world. He makes possible that leap of faith when we believe the Word. His love for me keeps me upright. I can always fall back on His love for me when I don't love myself or if I don't feel love from someone. His love helps me navigate through the chaos in this world.
What touch of heaven have you found in the Bible, how has it impacted your life here on earth?
One verse that you've mentioned here, Betty, that speaks volumes to me is John 4:19. We can only love because God's love is eternal and lives within us. So simple and so profound. Blessings to you!
