Care to share your favorite Bible verse or inspirational quote?

[jodim]

I know it's not really a budget forum topic per say, but I am making a jar for my other half who is leaving on orders for 3 months. I figured I would fill it with 30 Bible verses, 30 Inspirational quotes and 30 messages from home instead of buying a bunch of cards and sending them with him. I am running out of ideas though!

Sooooo would you please care to share your favorite Bible verse or inspirational quote? TIA

It might not be inspirational, but it is my guiding principle:

Your way may be the best for you, but that is no sign it is the best for another.

Keeps me from judging others, and keeps me accepting there is more then one "right" way to live.

I Corinthians 13 : 4-8

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

There are lots of people who believe in and think highly of you. Be sure that you're one of them.

 

[Dakota731]

Matthew 6:25-34New International Version (NIV)
Do Not Worry

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?

This is more for you! It's one I struggle with and need to think of often.
