Living By The Bible

Sometimes, we need a little encouragement

I'm not a religious person whatsoever... (trust me, ask anyone who knows me). I haven't been to church in almost 2 years, not counting weddings, baptisms or funerals. I am not the perfect "child of God". But recently, I've been feeling alone. Things have been stressful and I've been questioning everything that happens in my life: love, strength, guidance. Who do I talk to when questioning these sort of things in life? Lately, I've been looking up bible versus and they're pretty outspoken and actually quite helpful. I've had questions about how to live and bible quotes help me so much. My article today is some of my favorite bible versus to get through your day.

Love:

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love" -1 Corinthians 13:13

Strength:

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. -Jeremiah 29:11

Guidance:

"For you are my rock and my fortress; For Your name's sake you will lead me and guide me" -Psalm 31:3

Hope:

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life" -Proverbs 13:12

Sadness:

The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. -Deuteronomy 31:8

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

While being home for break this week and picking up hours at work, I remember what it is like to in fast food. Although there are many aspects to the job, the customers are always number one priority. Anyone who works in fast food knows that you come across these types of customers AT LEAST once a day:
