1. God's endless love for us.

John 3:16-17

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the tower to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through."

This scripture alone is so powerful. Verse 16 is the only scripture in the Bible that you can replace the word "whoever" with YOUR NAME or anyone else's name and it still holds up to be a true statement. Jesus loves you and was sent by Our Father to save us. How powerful??

2. John the Baptist shows one of the greatest examples of humbling ourselves before Christ.

John 3:28

"You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, "I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him."

John goes on to say in verses 30 & 31 "He must increase, but I must decrease. He who comes from above is above all."

John The Baptist was thought to be sent from God and he tells his disciples that he truly is not the Son of God, but it is Jesus, and that we have to humble ourselves and realize God is above all! That God knows all and makes all, that we should not be afraid that submit to the Lord knowing we are in good hands!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
