Christian Inspiration (showing 1-16 of 16)

[Grace, Head Moderator]

This is the topic for those of us who love and worship God our Savior. Post some inspirational Bible verses to brighten someone's day or maybe even help them through a tough situation. Who knows? You might post a verse that turns out to be exactly what the next person needed to hear.

Also, you don't have to just post Bible verses. You can post inspirational stories where Christ has worked in your life or in someone elses, you can post prayer requests - really anything goes in this topic!

"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all." 2 Corinthians 4:17

I love this one 'cause I am one of those people who can really feel broken down about almost anything. This says that these troubles we go through on earth won't matter in the future - they'll even seem "light and momentary"! And they are WORTH IT. Everything we go through has a purpose in our lives, I promise you. It is "achieving for us an eternal glory." One that will make our troubles seem like nothing in comparison.

I asked Jesus once, "How much do you love me?" He looked at me with love in His eyes, saying "This much." Then He stretched out his arms and died.

Whoa, where'd you get that from?

[ϮAʛʛⅇℛʊℵʛ {Supernatural Freak}]

I found it on some random sheet once! It really hits you how much how He loves you doesn't it?

[Grace, Head Moderator]

Yeah, it's crazy. I just finished reading Psalms and Proverbs, and I'm thinking about going back and reading Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John again 'cause the last time I read those I don't think I was old enough to understand how much it really meant. This time, maybe I'll see it differently. A new perspective, you know?

Totally. I should do that myself. :)

I'm so glad God is a part of my life. It just helps shape everything into perspective for me. One quote I really like is "life isn't about trying to find shelter in a storm; it's about learning to dance in the rain." I feel like all God wants for all of us is just to be happy and enjoy things. Sometimes I think we worry too much :)

[Grace, Head Moderator]

I couldn't have said it better myself Rosie :) thank you so much for posting that. I certainly worry too much myself

[Rosie]

Ya, worry eats up so much of my days with school and all that sometimes it amazes me how often I forget to take in the little things. I'm really grateful for times when God allows for me to get "bored" just so that I can slow down and relax, you know? :D

[Grace, Head Moderator]

Absolutely. A great thing to do when you're worrying is TRUST. That word is overused so we don't know the weight of it anymore, but it's HUGE. Trust that God has everything covered. We need only to be still

[Rosie]

thanks, that really helps. My Da (dad) always tells me that everyone always has something going on and I think thats downright true. Everyone is dealing with a trial and we never know what it is so we really shouldn't judge and we should help in whatever way we can. Even if we don't know it. Something as simple as a smile can be the world to someone different at a certain time, in a certain place, in a certain circumstance. Which just goes to show God perfectly times everything :D It's amazing. So thanks again for commenting back. I want to trust God and I can always do better :)

[Grace, Head Moderator]

I'll be praying for you , Rosie, and for your walk with Him. Everything really does happen for a reason, be sure to remember that :)

[Rosie]

thanks :)
