There is no doubt that our world is hurting. Between terrorist attacks, shootings and other acts of violence, it can sometimes seem as if there is no hope anymore. Many people have adopted that mindset, and let me tell you, it is a dangerous way to think. It may not seem like it at the moment, but there is still hope in our world. Here, I have compiled 21 Bible verses that I feel the world needs to hear. These verses have helped me through some of my most difficult times when I feel beaten down and broken. I hope they can do the same for you, and be spread throughout the world.
