Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought a t a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 -
I think most believers have that certain verse that holds a special place in their heart. That one verse that every time they hear it, instantly makes the situation better. I know this one is a little random if you don't know the story behind it, but this is my verse.
Most people who knows me, knows that I'm not who I once was. Not even close. I struggled with an addiction, that often separated me from God. Before I got saved, a friend of mine was doing a 7 day cutting bible study with me. Each day she would send me a new verse to read, and talk about. This helped me so much, but the addiction didn't go away instantly. It took about a year to completely stop.
I believe it was the first day of the study that she gave me this verse to look up. Tears instantly filled my eyes as soon as I read it. I knew that I was not honoring God, and I wanted to. My body is not mine, it is God's, I should do all I can for him. At that moment I realized that I was not. I was dishonoring God.
Ever since that moment, This has been my go to verse. Even though I don't struggle with my addiction any longer, I still hold this verse close to my heart. When times get tough, I reflect on this verse, and tell myself " I don't want to be that girl any more, I want to Honor God in all that I do! "
It may not make sense to anyone else, but your special verse is yours. I have friends whose special verses seem so random to me, but I know that there is a reason they hold that so dearly. The same reason I hold this one with a tight grip. I believe God put this verse in my hands, and in my heart for a reason.
God bless <3
Love,
