What is your favorite Bible verse or verses that really encourage you. One of mine is Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."

 

[Loven God]

Mine is not a bible verse , what helps me is to remember : Things don't just happen overnight . Thay happen with an individeal who won't give in , won't quit and refuss to settle .

That is how I see and feel about my bipolar .

Hello,

What a nice thread and topic. I have so many verses that I like. One that comes to mind is John 10:10

John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Faithfully,
CH Sacerdote

I like the AA slogans too. A couple that come to mind are "one day at a time, first things first, and but for the grace of God."

[Ludicrus]

Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; And pay thy vows unto the Most High;
And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me." (Psalm 50:14-15)

Matthew 7:13-14
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

To me, it says that the hard work I do to appear "normal", and to fit in, and to do the right thing by others, IS the right thing to do. It also absolves me of the responsibility for those who CHOOSE to do the wrong/selfish thing because it is easier/fun. They have been told the Truth, but they choose the wrong path. It's their choice. I can advise, teach, guide, or inform, but ultimately it's their choice. The responsibility for saving those who won't be saved, is not mine. I cannot take on the burden of sin for the whole world - that job was taken 2000 years ago.

It also pulls me up when I slack, and sleep all day instead of going to work. That Life is not for everyone. It's only for those who choose good over evil.

Maybe not my favorite but is very encouraging...

"Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound;they shall walk O' Lord in the light of thy countenance.
"In thy name shall they rejoice all the day;and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted."
{Psalms-89:15-16}

 

[St. Paul]

Mine would probably be 1 Corinthians 15.

 

[BlessedMommy05]

4Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass
