7 Bible Versus That Have Changed Me For The Better

Lately life has been a little crazy, and nothing keeps me grounded more than turning to the Lord himself. The verses below are personally some of my favorite, most inspiring quotes, and I hope you love them as much as I do!

1) 1 John 3:18

"Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."

This one is my all time favorite, reading it makes me realize the type of love people have and how they show it. When thinking about love I know that I am loved through action and in truth.

2) Ephesians 2:19-22

"Whenever you are feeling unloved, unimportant, or insecure, remember to whom you belong."

I personally connect with the this specific part of the Ephesians passage because it's so easy to feel down and no wanted. And then I remember loving myself and God is way more important than the people that make you feel unloved. This is one I read on the daily because it reminds me of my importance and the reason I am here today.


3) Phillippians 4:13

"I can do anything through Christ who gives me Strength."

This is definitely one of the more known and popular verses. It shows us God is the highest power and he gives us the strength to conquer the hardest of times.

4) Colossians 3:13

"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."

Sometimes it's hard for us to forgive someone who has wronged us, but, sometimes we forget that the Lord's son died for our sins, and died for us to live.

5) John 5:13

"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."


6) Joshua 10:25

"Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Be strong and courageous. This is what the LORD will do to all the enemies you are going to fight.”

God is constantly reminding us of his presence, even if it's a challenging time, he reminds us of our worth and how strong he knows we are.

7) 1 Peter 3:9-11

"Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 10 For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. 11 They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it."


I hope you think about how these passages personally connect to you, and use them to create a better version of yourself.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
