What scripture always stays with you?

[Jacqueline]

For a while now there is one scripture that won't seem to leave my mind. Every day it stays with me and it enters my mind at the oddest moments. Deny your self and follow me.

This scripture stays we me so much that I find my self in need to stupid it's full meaning. Deny your self and follow me. Those few little words is so powerful.

Deny your self and follow me. It feels like Jesus is reaching out to my very soul asking for the part of me that I know I'm keeping from Him.

What scripture do you find always enters your mind? Does it make you stop and take a hard look at your walk with Christ?

God Bless

Hmmm. Interesting question. Im not sure any one scripture stays in my mind. I will have to think about this question for a bit.

Great thread-- Can I mention a few?

Psalm 139

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;

test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24 See if there is any offensive way in me,

and lead me in the way everlasting.

And this one is a new one for me- a favorite of many on the boards . It keeps me in check, when my mind starts to "wander"

Hebrews 12

2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

1 Thessalonians 5

16Be joyful always; 17pray continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Greetings Jacqueline,

John 15:12-19 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17 These things I command you, that ye love one another. 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Ps 51:1-13

Ps 130:1-5

Ps 86:1-7

Blessings,

It changes with different periods of time, but for now, it is:

Isaiah 3:10 "Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, For they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

In His Love,

Ro 8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

And it has been true through and through.

Romans 8:28, And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God to them who are the called according to His purpose.

This is the verse I always lean on.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  Proverbs 3:5-6

He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less. John 3:30

Also, God has been bringing these two verses to my mind alot lately.

[rockswillcryout]

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

2 Corinthians 4: 7-9
