Inspirational Bible Verses

There are lots of verses that used to inspire me when I read them, but I had stopped reading my Bible for a while, until recently I dug out my dusty Bible. (Actually, I really had to dig out my Bible because it was under piles of books and my stuff that I moved back from the States.)

Here are the verses that inspire me again as I read them again:

Famous verses from 1 Corinthians, 13:4-7
"Love is patien, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perserveres."

Reflection from these verses:
I love these verses so much because they really helps me to look into what I am doing everyday. I always think it is so great to love other people and treat them in the unselfish love, genuine ways. But I sometimes find myself jealous of something that I cannot get or even get angry with lots of things. If love is patient, kind and everything above, why should I feel mad about?


Ephesians 4: 29-32
"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."

Reflection from these verses:
Recently, I found myself involving in some talks of something, I should say most of them are slanders and unproofed stuff, gossip mostly. I should not really do that though. What was I thinking? I think I should say something to build people up not to tear them into pieces. I could have torn them apart by words, but I don't want to. That's not how and what I am.

May these verses be inspirational to some of you.....
