Is there any Bible verse that made you change completely in such a way that you were never the same. Is there any Bible verse that still convicts you till this day? Is there any Bible verse that is still echoing your heart everytime you read it?.
Long ago, one marriage in Christ wanted to serve the Lord and they were excited. They ran to the pastor and told Him:
-Pastor we want to serve-
-Ok. But do you have any biblical degree or diploma?
-Well, no. Not really. But we read the Bible every day-
-No. You don´t understand. We need a certification that makes you are elegible to serve the Lord-
-But we have the Holy Spirit in us. We can serve-
-Not in positions of teaching and pastoring. You need to have a certificate-
That afternoon, husband and wife went to their house very sad. The husband wept to the LORD saying: "God. I don't understand. My wife and I want to serve you and we can't. Is there anything wrong? You did not tell me that I must have a certificate. We do not have enough money to start one. I don't understand.
Next day, they were walking to the church when they saw the people. Many of them were sad and not attended. His wife said: "Darling, there should be someone at the door welcoming them. I think we can do that. We don't need a degree for that. I think the pastor will agree"
The husband listened and they went to the pastor after the service finished and told him what they could do.
-It's not necessary. It's not even a ministry-
-But they need to feel welcomed. They need a helping hand-
-Ok. Ok. Go and do it. If it's not affecting the service it's ok-
They were excited and started serving the Lord by standing at the entrance doors. People were attended with such love and compassion that many of them decided to come back. But they felt no one was rewarding their efforts and both of them felt they meant nothing at their congregation. They came back home sad again until God put them one verse in their hearts. When they opened the Bible in Hebrews chapter 6 verse 10, they worshipped God that night with joy. The verse said the following:
God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.
Hebrews 6:10.
That verse will be stamped in my mind always. God will not forget every tiny thing you do for Him. The brothers that sweep the floor, clean the chairs and serve water ow for sure that there is a God who will reward their effort because He will never forget the beautiful things you do for Him.
Feel free to write and I'm pretty sure I will learn a lot from you. That is the purpose of this thread. To learn from your perspectives of each verse God put within you.

Thank the God of heaven for His unchangeable nature and consistent stand upon the mountain of truth. Because of this we can trust God and take great strength and comfort from the promises found therein.
