Lessons Learned


These are some verses that have new meaning in my life. It is amazing how God gives you the verses you need to bring peace to your thoughts in hard times. In fact, it’s pretty incredible!!

Psalm 15:2-4 (NKJV)
He who walks uprightly,
And works righteousness,
And speaks the truth in his heart;
He who does not backbite with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;
In whose eyes a vile person is despised,
But he honors those who fear the LORD;
He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;

Psalm 17:17
A friend loves at all times,
And a brother is born for adversity.

Matthew 18:15 (NKJV)
Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.

Matthew 18:35 (NKJV)
So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”

John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

Romans 14:9-11
For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
For it is written:
“ As I live, says the LORD,
Every knee shall bow to Me,
And every tongue shall confess to God.”

1 Peter 4:7-9 (NKJV)
But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

James 4:12 (NKJV)
Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?

I John 2:10
He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.
