Nanako's Favorite Bible Verses
Verses of Joy

Here are some selected passages from Scripture (Holy Bible, New International Version) which I hope will offer encouragement and inspiration for visitors of the Himawari page. Each has a different theme, that has helped me at different points in my life and it is my wish that you'll keep these verses in mind, that it will also speak to you in your need. God bless you.

God 's Greatest Gift
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Thoughts on Love
I Corinthians 13:4-8; 13
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily-angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails...
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Love must be sincere.
