looking for Bible verse for granddaughter... - 09/23/22 12:06 AM
so, when my grandson was born nearly two years ago, I had a Buck Ranger knife engraved with his name on the scale and "Matthew 6:33" engraved on the blade.
New granddaughter on the way, so I'm looking for suggestions for which verse to reference on her knife's blade.
(wanting to treat them alike)
Thanks!

Since it's a knife... Hebrews 4:12

The Book of Jubilees....
Chapter 36: 20-24
I named my daughter Leah because I found this passage so moving regarding Leah's character; particularly everything she had gone through in the years with Jacob and her sister Rachel. No doubt an extraordinary woman.

It's a whole chapter, 1 Corinthians 13:1-13

There are no bad Bible verses of course but some are more relevant to particular circumstances.
You'd know that best White Marlin.
The foundational text in the OT is Exodus 34:6 when God gives a glimpse of Himself to Moses and tells us all;
The Lord God is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth;
We can't love someone we don't know, so this revelation is the key to all of the OT and on into the New Covenant in Christ Jesus.
Blessings,
Mark

IMO John 3:16 is great for any occasion

Proverbs 27:27 is a favorite verse of mine. Probably doesn't fit the occasion. Congratulations, Grandpa.

I do like Isaiah 41:10. Basically says to me to never have any fear.

I think Matthew 633 works for everyone.

appreciate all the suggestions!
Decided to go with Jeremiah 29:11
I believe the Holy Spirit led me to that choice for this Child of God.
