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.

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
