The verses from Galatians 3:26-29 in the New Living Translation tell me that I am so loved by God, our heavenly father.
I am precious in His eyes. Faith in Christ has given me the privilege to be called God's child, a renewed and saved being, no longer differentiated or discriminated by gender, marginalized by religious denomination or alienated by economic status. This passage gives me the courage to face the world with great hope and joyful expectation that I am victorious through faith in Jesus Christ. I even have a different perspective on the trials, disappointment and challenges every child of God goes through because I know that God's covenant with Abraham is also mine to claim as I grow in faith and stature before my Lord, Jesus Christ.

The verses from Luke 11:9-13 in the New Living Translation tell me that if we ask for God's guidance we shall receive it. Therefore if we keep on seeking by studying our Bible we will find the answers to all our questions.
We need to seek and knock on God's word the Bible and God himself will open the door to us. This passage applies in my life to keep searching for God and let him know what we need--like guidance and encouragement--upon all other things through prayer, he will listen to us and we shall receive.

The verses from Daniel 3:16-18 in the New Living Translation tell me that God used Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to teach Nebuchadnezzar two very important lessons.
Lesson number one, "There is a God."
Lesson number two, "You ain't Him."
The lesson I take away from this passage, is that God calls us to obedience. We must obey, regardless of what others think, say, or do. We must obey regardless of personal cost, even if it costs us everything. We follow Him because we are committed to a vital relationship with Him, not a cold, lifeless religion. That relationship gives us the strength we need to stand strong for Him.

The verses from Galatians 3:26-29 in the New Living Translation tell me that I have rights to the greatest prize ever!
I am not only a member of God's family, I have also been made a new person. I daily feel the change inside; of hope, and joy and amazing peace that has eluded me most of my life. I also have a huge responsibility to wear these new clothes with respect and integrity. I am to show others what it means to be a child of God--that I, in my heart desire to put God first, and then to put others ahead of myself.
I now want to see what God's will is for my life and how I can be of service to Him through helping others. Time spent in His Word and time spent in prayer have brought me from a life of addiction and near death, to praising Him and seeing everything in a new light. He knocked me to my knees once, and being a stubborn one, He knocked me flat before I finally reached up and took His hand and let His Spirit fill me. I belong to Christ and I no longer look to what makes me feel good through things of this world. I look to what He desires and I look to others and how I can help them in their stuggles. I love this life with God!

Name: Linda Jo Turrey
The verses from 1 Chronicles 28:8-10 in the New Living Translation tell me God waits ernestly for us to believe and fellowship with Him.
He takes such joy in our "wanting" to spend time with Him. The more I spend time in His Word and in prayer, the more excited I get and the more He reveals Himself to me in amazing ways!
There was a time where I would have been scared to know that He knows my every thought and plan; yet now I relish the idea that although I still feel so small, He knows my heart is in His very heart.
This passage reminds me that I must apply my whole mind and heart and daily actions to what will glorify Him. I must learn to leave my comfort zone and share with others the great love He has for us the eternal life available to us all.

The verses from Galatians 3:26-29 in the New Living Translation tell me
That indeed Jesus will save anyone who is truly ready. My heart was empty.
A great friend of mine brought me to Calvary Chapel in West Mel. Fl. I was so overwhelmed. I gave myself to the Lord and wonderful things began to happen. My heart Is full of Love for the Lord. I've changed. I was Baptist in the Atlantic Ocean 5 Years ago and have not been more ready for what the rest of my life has to offer.
Praise the Lord. Praise the Father who gave up his only begotten Son so that I would be saved.
Amen

The verses from Psalm 133 in the New Living Translation tell me that God blesses Unity.
God is a God of order. When we are one, we are protected by God and the enemy cannot find us, because we are hidden in Christ. Jesus prayed in John 17 that we would be one as He and the Father are one. When we walk in unity then the world will recognize that Jesus is alive and well and working in His Body.

Name: Tamela Grant
The verses from Daniel 3:16-18 in the New Living Translation tell me that God loves me very much. That is why He sometimes puts me to test to strengthen my faith in Him. Thus I am encouraged to serve Him always and trust Him with my problems.
What God is teaching me in this passage is that He is a consuming fire therefore when I am faced with fire like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, I should just realise instantly that when the consuming fire comes, that blazing furnace cannot consume me. Neither will any situation overpower me because he will be there to save me.
In my own life, I have learnt not to be afraid of what man will do because only God is omnipotent and all-knowing. He is my shepherd, I will fear no evil. Amen.

The verses from 1 John 4:7-10 in the New Living Translation tell me that as I know God more deeply -- I experience His love more deeply.
I will soak in the fact that God loved me so much that He sent His only Son into the world as a sacrifice for my sin. In doing so I have eternal life in relationship with God. The natural outflow of receiving God's love is to love.
As child of God, I love because I've been loved. Just as the Son was sent in to the world to sacrificially love me - so I as a child of God am now sent into the world to sacrificially love others. If I am not loving those around me -- then I need to spend time knowing God -- because I need to experience His Love in order to Love others around me.

Name: Deborah Wenninger
The verses from 1 John 4:7-10 in the New Living Translation tell me that God is love and love does not exist without God. God loved us first, before we were even capable of loving Him. We should, therefore, love one another in the Lord with the same love with which we have been given. He sent his Son as a sacrifice for us, to save us from our sins, so that we might know Him, love Him, and be with Him...forever.
Name: Brian C Bailey
The verses from Luke 11:9-13 in the New Living Translation tell me to pray, pray and keep on praying. They tell me that God is listening. They make me to understand that He wants me to continually seek Him and never give up no matter how long it takes. He assures me that he will answer when I sincerely seek Him. He will give me what is best--because He is my heavenly Father and he loves me. He loves me so much that gives me His Holy Spirit to live in me and be my helper as long as I am living on this earth. Because I am His child, these verses apply to my life. Because I am not yet in heaven with Him, but still here on earth, these are His instructions for me. He wants me to know that He cares about me and hears me when I pray. I am so thankful that he didn't leave me helpless here on earth, but sent His Holy Spirit to be with me and to be in me--what a loving Heavenly Father!!
Name: Sharlet Corley
The verses from Luke 11:9-13 in the New Living Translation tell me to keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking.
Our Heavenly Father has given us the gift of the Holy Spirit, our Helper, our Advocate and so much more. At times, when the trouble comes, I shrink back and look at the situation in the natural and allow fear and hopelessness to come in.
But then I am reminded of His Word and the promises He has for me--that God is greater in me than he that is in the world. I have the Holy Sprirt within me. His WORD is TRUTH. That I need to trust in Him and trust in His Word.
No matter the situation, keep on asking. It might look hopeless, but keep on seeking. Prayer hasn't been answered, but keep on knocking. The Word builds our faith, it brings a confidence in His promises, a strength to overcome, and the courage to keep pressing on.

The verses from Daniel 3:16-18 in the New Living Translation tell me that these three men had complete and pure faith in God. They knew without a doubt that there is only one true Lord and that is our Father God.
This passage buoys my faith in a time when so many are focused on the stock market, the housing market and job security. We are not supposed to focus on those things because they are false idols. We can have all the personal wealth in the world, but if we do not have complete faith that our Lord and Savior will always protect and provide for us, then we have nothing. This life is but a mere test of our faith in God. If we have faith and remain true to him then we will have life everlasting in him.

The verses from 1 John 4:7-10 in the New Living Translation tell me that as a child of God we love one another because God puts that love in us. It is agape love; love that is true and unselfish and only comes from God.
We who are saved have the nature of God which is to love, because God is love. We are shown the greatest extent of love when God sent his only Son to die on the cross for our sins.
It is hard for me to imagine sacrificing my 19-month old son for everyone's sins. Love=God's Grace.
Love is showing concern and by action its desire for the well being of another. Love is not do something for another to get something in return. It is not expecting anything and doing it out of the kindness and love God has given us.

The verses from Luke 11:9-13 in the New Living Translation tell me that God is going to continue to make sure I have everything I need.
My husband and I recently committed to taking our two kids and working with a church in El Salvador for a year. We made this decision after seeing several doors opened for us that had not previously been open. We have prayed about what to do and about any concerns or obstacles that have arisen and almost before we can have time to worry about them, God is already answering and showing us the solutions.
We continue to seek His will for our lives and we continue to see it unfolded before us and doors are opened. God is blessing us and leading us. What a mighty God we serve!

The verses from Daniel 3:16-18 in the New Living Translation tell me God is able to save us. It was true in the past, in the present, and in the future.
In this passage God reminds me that I am blessed to live in American where I have freedom of worship. It seems that we find many excuses not to attend worship services, read the Bible, pray, and serve God. Instead, we should be thankful for the blessing of freedom of worship and serve the Lord with a joyful heart. He has done so much for me: What have I done for Him.

The verses from Daniel 3:16-18 in the New Living Translation tell me that God is with me through the good and the bad. He never deserts or betrays me.
Whatever is God's will for my life is a MUCH better life than living without being in God's will. I lost my husband (age 25), a son (age 15), both parents, and all grandparents before I turned 47 years old. But, I know through all of the losses, the heartache, the questions and the grief, God is holding my hand. Somehow--I don't know how--He has a plan for my life.

The verses from Daniel 3:16-18 in the New Living Translation tell me if I serve God and honor Him regardless of whether I live or die everything will be alright.
The Bible gives us many examples of people who faced difficult challenges but remained true to God. Some died because they refused to deny God, and some survived. The important thing is not whether they lived or died, but what did they do with Jesus?
These verses remind me to live for God each day. I will face challenges, problems, and difficulties, and it is important that I take a stand for God and do what is right according to His word. I do not know when I will die or when the Lord will return, but I want to be ready. I want to honor my Lord and Savior.

The verses from 1 Chronicles 28:8-10 in the New Living Translation tell me to know God from my heart and have a willing mind. It's not just book learning, for God wants our true worship that comes from wanting to serve Him with our worship.
True worship is knowing He sees our heart and wants our plans to come from His heart not our hearts alone but with in His love and purpose. So we come to God as Father seeking and knowing He is looking for us and believing that He longs for our love and fellowship. We have a choice to open the door of our hearts as Jesus says in Rev 3:20 or reject his knocking.
