Over at Mel's World she has written about what your life verse is, I didn't have to think on this to long because I have had the same verse since I first rededicated my life to the Lord. Revelations 3:20 "Here I Am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will go in and eat with him, and he with me". God spent most of my life knocking on my door but I didn't open it for many years but when I finally did He was still there waiting for me & welcomed me. I'm sure glad He kept knocking.
Another verse is one my heart truly believes will take place in my entire family. Like most families there are many who do not know the Lord but this is my prayer for each member to come to know Jesus and to have a relationship with Him so that they can share in the eternal future of heaven & know the forgiveness of sins only given as a gift from the grace of God. I cling to the verse in Acts 16:31 "And they said believe in the Lord Jesus and you shall be saved, YOU and YOUR house hold" I take that to mean every member in my family whether they live with me or not..
I could go on with many more but these are the three verses that always come to mind almost on a daily basis and stand out for me, & I pray them daily.
I try not to forget from where I came, I can't change the past & all the mistakes I have made, some pretty stupid, some out of rebellion, some just because of pride or wanting to make myself look good, many just because I thought I had all the answers. so Philippians 3:13-14 has a place in my list of favorites, "One thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead. I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
God is working in my life everyday & He will not stop until He takes me home, He has alot of work to do but I am so Blessed just to know the Father is working in my life & drawing me closer to Him everyday..
