Birth Verse
I don't know how scientific this is, but it's kinda fun. Go to www.birthverse.com, enter your birthday, and discover what someone thinks your "birth verse" should be. Mine is
Proverbs 12:20 NIV There is deceit in the hearts of those who plot evil, but joy for those who promote peace.
LOL! I'm not sure whether the "plot evil" applies to me (though I've done plenty of that in my books), yet I hope I "promote peace" in my personal life. It's a lovely verse.
Romans 8:4 NIV ...the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.
I guess they chose the best verse out of the ones that matched the date -my birthday is 8/4. (I guess you were a Christmas baby?)
At least mine isn't Exodus 8:4 - The frogs will go up on you and your people and all your officials. :-)
Here's mine: Hebrews 12:15 NIV See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.
Oh my, if you only knew how applicable this is in my life right now! One of those goose bumps, scary kind of things. I how I need to catch the grace of God, and not miss it!
I've always been into dates and was captured by the correlation between dates and scripture a few years back. It was fun finding the most applicable scripture for family and friends. I liked Luke then Isaiah best for my date. Birthverse has chosen Luke for me:
Luke 11:10 NIV For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

Mine is:
1 John 4:9 NIV
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
To often I forget that!

mine, (and your daughter's) is lovely.
1 John 4:9 NIV

Mine is the best!
1 Corinthians 10:24 NIV
Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.
