Inspirations from the Bible
As Christians, myself along with many others today and forever throughtout the past, we constantly endure persecutions in many forms. Books have been written about and against us, jokes have been made at our expense, and the process of modernization can make others view us as outdated, while we endlessly fight the temptations of this world. While we accept these hardships with love and patience, knowing always that our Lord will reward us for our diligence, there are times when we feel worn out by the trials. Sometimes, questions come our way from mockers, and at other times they come from truly curious people. While we are to always be ready with answers for our faith, I have decided here to produce a compilation of inspirational Bible verses, that may not answer a readers question, but will help shed some light on the wondrous faith we hold for our Lord. These, in my opinion are some of the greatest, most heart-warming quotes that I can think of. I hope all my fellow Christians will enjoy this, and even those that may not believe.
