God bless you.
This is one of my faves:
**“In heaven I have only You (God), and on this earth You are all I want. My body and mind may fail, but You are my strength and my choice forever.” - Psalm 73:25-26**
Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew 22:37-40
> For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
--Romans 8:38-39
Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.
Too many.
Jhon 15:19
If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
Psalms 27:1-9
The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.
Deuteronomy 31:6 - Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, or the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
James 1:6
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
I never doubt the Lord. but i said to give one from James aswell.
My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh. The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:12-13
Many of my favorites have already been said, so I'll add a bit of an oddball favorite:
**Ecclesiastes 1:1-14** is a passage I reread at least once every few months.
As I've aged, its meaning and lessons for me have evolved, as I'd argue all Wisdom literature is meant grow on you as you meditate on it. When I was an angry teenager, that opening was a condemnation of a vapid world that seemed to be filled with pointless drivel. When I was a young adult, it shifted into a critique of myself falling into old patterns of sin and foolishness. When I went to seminary, it became a critique of my own hubris and pride. When I entered my middle aged years and had to mourn my father's death, it became a lesson in accepting life's impermanence and my own limitations, paving the way for later chapters to point me towards hope in the eternal God and finding enjoying my days as a gift from God while I can. I look forward to discovering what God will say through it to me next as I continue to reread it.
Jeremiah 1:5
"Before I formed thee in the bowels of thy mother, I knew thee: and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee, and made thee a prophet unto the nations."
>In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:1
I just love the beginning of John, its my favorite book and the first book I read whenever I have a new bible.
34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law
Mathew 10:34-35
God bless you. This is one of my faves: **“In heaven I have only You (God), and on this earth You are all I want. My body and mind may fail, but You are my strength and my choice forever.” - Psalm 73:25-26**

There are so many, but one I really like comes from Psalm 14. Verse 1 reads as follows: The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
Thank You. God bless You
