Thank you for all you do! I know this is a work of love. My husband an I with his Mom Carol Ann send out a monthly newsletter with personal cards to prisoners, Harvest Time Ministries. I just joined the ministry last year as God had been growing me into writing Bible studies. He has given me a worthy audience and I am greatly humbled.
I stumbled on your site looking for verses about God loving us to share and use in this month’s Bible study and will be continuing about his love where we are at personally over the next couple months.
I have printed your lists off so that I can find them easier, but I have book marked your page on my computer so I can use your wonderful work in my “tool kit”.
Praise God for his love and allowing us this rich “connected-ness”!

Thank you so much! I’m sharing my testimony with my small group this week and as I thought about it I saw the phrase “being known” over and over again. And being in high school, I obviously want to be known. So I decided to share a verse that kinda sums up the main theme, which of course is being known. The verse I chose was Jeremiah 1:5. And just the fact that God knows us, I mean y’all God KNOWS us!! Personally too!
Thank you
