  My Bible

Love. People who hear or see the word love, they may think of their family members, friends, pets, chocolate, a romance novel, anything. However, when I think of love, I think of God. God has saved me and loved me when I thought I was worthless, useless, ugly, unloveable, a nothing. Life hits us in the face with a baseball flying at you 100 miles an hour. We fall on the ground, barely able to pick ourselves back up. We might feel hopeless or like a tiny speck of dust that does not matter in the world. There is so much more to us than what the human eye sees. In God’s eyes, we are beautiful, worthy, important, valuable, His.

God is my definition of love. The Bible teaches me about His love and what he has done for the world. “Because you are precious in my eyes and honored, and I love you, I give people in return for you and nations in exchange for your life.” Isaiah 43:4 shows we are precious. God loves us so much that He would give nations for our lives. He loves us so much that He gave His ONLY son to die for us. If that isn’t love, then I do not know what is.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 says, “Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” Growing up, I have been told to be like Jesus. I believe if I replace my name with the word “love” or “it” in these verses, I can learn how to properly love like Jesus.

My bible is my moral compass. When I am faced with a tough decision, I try to turn to God to pray and read my bible to help me figure out what to do. My bible is my safety, my comfort, and the closest thing I have to my heart.
