Here is a short collection of my favourite Bible verses. They illustrate God's power, they show how much he cares for each of us individually, and they give a guideline for our lives. Christ is THE answer to life, and only He can bring us holy and righteous to God. Trust Him... the Truth.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
(1Corinthians 13:4-7)
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him."
(John 3:36)
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)
"... for the Lord searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever."
(Chronicles 28:9b)
"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise as we understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."
(2Peter 3:8-9)
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -not by works, so that no one can boast."
(Ephesians 2:8-9)
"One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all."
(Ephesians 4:6)
"But the Lord said to Samuel, 'Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him.' The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
(1Samuel 16:7)

Proud speaks mainly of itself; humble speaks of others. Proud runs to the front of the line; humble lets others go first. Proud shouts to let opinions be known; humble listens to others opinions first. Proud rejects others as unimportant; humble accepts others as worthwhile. Proud knows it all; humble is teachable. Proud cheers when others fall; humble picks up those who have fallen.

"For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
(Luke 18:14)
"For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs."
(1Timothy 6:7-10)
"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 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 Jesus Christ our Lord."
(Romans 8:37-39)
"For with much wisdom comes much sorrow, the more knowledge the more grief."
(Ecclesiastes 1:18)
"Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things."
(Philippians 4:8)
