Favorite Bible verse & why: I have known this verse since I was child. My grandparents had it hanging in a bedroom and I would read it every morning and evening when I would spend the night. It has been my guide in life through many joys and conflicts.

"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Ephesians 4:32

Favorite Bible verse & why: My current favorite Bible verse comes from the paraphrase called The Message: "The Word became flesh and blood and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one of a kind glory, like Father, like Son, generous inside and out, true from start to finish." John 1:14 I love this because it reminds me that my Savior is not stand-offish or far away..He is in the neighborhood. He is always right there for me, loving me all the time no matter what. It is a very comforting image.
