When Only The Bible Can Help

Little reminders of God's great love.

When Only The Bible Can Help
Answering Genesis

Too often in life, we as humans must confront emotions that we see as unfair. Emotions that make us feel like we're hard to love and in situations like this I like to remind myself that no matter how unloved I can feel at any given moment I am loved more greatly by the maker of the universe than I will ever be able to know. Throughout the Bible we are often reminded that no matter how rough our path is we never have to walk it alone, and that we can find light in a dark world if we choose to believe in the love that can overcome everything else.

Look here when you are feeling:

Insecure

1. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. (Ephesians 6:13)

2. But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)

3. The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” (Deuteronomy 31:8)

4. Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. (Psalm 73:23)

5. As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. (Ephesians 2:1-2)

Alone

1. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10)

2. Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have,because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)

3. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. (Psalm 23:4)

Stressed

1. Stand firm, and you will win life. (Luke 21:19)

2. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy. (Psalm 94:19)

3. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 3:11)

4. Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,whenever you face trials of many kinds,because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. (James 1:2-3)

5. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)

6. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. (Proverbs 16:3)

7. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (Philippians 4:6)

8. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. (John 14:27)

9. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

10. Trouble and distress have come upon me, but your commands give me delight. (Psalm 119:143)

Brokenhearted

1. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. (Psalm 73:26)

2. The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. (Psalm 34:17)

3. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (Psalm 147:3)

Confused

1. For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people. (1 Corinthians 14:33)

2. Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this. (2 Timothy 2:7)

3. Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. (Matthew 7:7)

4. But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:31)

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
