I have loved Proverbs 3 for about 8 years now:

Quote:
1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
 2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
 4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
 5 ¶ Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
 7 ¶ Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
 9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
 10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
 11 ¶ My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:
 12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
 13 ¶ Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
 14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
 15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
 16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
 18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
 19 The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
 20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
 21 ¶ My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
 22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
 23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
 24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
 25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
 26 For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
 27 ¶ Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
 28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
 29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
 30 ¶ Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
 31 ¶ Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
 32 For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.
 33 ¶ The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
 34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
 35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.


It probably just resonates with my personal life experiences.

I should add that I don't believe in "religion", but I can read my Bible anyday and derive much personal inspiration from it. In that sense, to me, it's a "sacred book".

this should have been in the bible..................

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.

"The Devil made me do it"

Is that one?

NO?

Well I am pretty sure this one must be in there somewhere.

"Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little."

Then Jesus said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."

Luke 7:47,48

"Jehoshaphat his son succeeded him as king and strengthened himself against Israel. 
He stationed troops in all the fortified cities of Judah and put garrisons in Judah and in the towns of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.
The LORD was with Jehoshaphat because in his early years he walked in the ways his father David had followed.
He did not consult the Baals  but sought the God of his father and followed his commands rather than the practices of Israel. "

2 Chronicles 17:1-4

You want a bible verse...

Corinthians.

13:4-7

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.


YOU WANT A CONTEMPORARY SONG...

Rick Price
RIVER OF LOVE.

When I'm in trouble
When I'm sinking down
Caught up in this struggle
Stuck out on the wrong side of town
Lord I know you won't forsake me
You help me rise above
Let your spirit take me down
To the river of love
Wash my soul in your water
Turn me around
And I'll surrender all like I ought to
When I go down
To the river of love
River of love
Take me down, down down
To the river of love
Dip my hands in your water
So cool and clear
Pouring down from the altar
There's healing here
Lord I know you won't forsake me
You help me rise above
Let your spirit take me down
To the river of love
Wash my soul in your water
Turn me around
And I'll surrender all like I ought to
When I go down
To the river of love
River of love
Take me down, down down
To the river of love

Grendel - your contemporary songs lyrics read well to me.



One that cropped up tonght. Obscure, but shows the personal relationship that us xians harp on about.  Smiley

"Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ."

Luke 2:25,26

Simeon was a jew at the time of jesus birth, awaiting the messiah.
He had been "informed" of the messiahs arrival and rejoiced in the event.
Though others were unaware, he knew.
This quote shows the presence and knowledge of the Holy Spirit and the faith of Someon.
