Favorite Book Of The Bible

Hey, everyone :)

So I was reading the book of James in the bible today, and I was struck by how sweet and how encouraging the book is.
In Chapter 1, James tells us that trials are meant to be hard-they give us more strength for the harder things that will come later on. God will never give us more than we can handle.

Chapters 2-3, James describes the relationship between faith and works. He teaches that a person of faith without works demonstrates useless faith. What good is a person’s faith if they don’t present it to the world? We should be telling everyone about our faith! It strikes me that yeah, I tell all of you that I am a christian, but in real life? I really don't talk to my friends about it.
A believer’s good works are evidence of their faith in Jesus Christ. He also teaches that everyone is a sinner and that if one of the 10 Commandments are broken, than that person is guilty of breaking every one of them, “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all” (2:10).

In Chapters 4-5, James gives wise instruction to believers. He said, “Submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you”(4:7). 
A faithful believer will desire to follow hard after God in service, obedience, and prayer. In the last chapter James stresses the weight and magnitude of prayer for every believer. He uses the word “Prayer” 7 times, signifying its importance. In the final verse of his book James expresses the magnitude of living faith in action saying:
“My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.” (5:19-20).

I really love the book of James. I wish it was longer so that I could read more of it.
What is all of you guys' favorite book of the bible? Please let me know :)

Thanks for reading. :) Like this, subscribe, comment, and have a wonderful day :)

Wall Art

Okay, so I had this idea from a friend-meaning I non-creepily went into his room and saw on his wall-that he had like a bunch of Flash cards on his wall with bible verses and stuff on them, and I had been wanting to do something like that for awhile, but I was lacking in the area of pushpins haha. So, I finally did it today, and it looks pretty awesome. I bought a bunch of new gel pens and picked a couple colors for each kind of quote (blue for songs, red/orange/green for other quotes, pink/purple for bible verses etc...) and I put it in a certain shape.
I like all the diversity and such. I really like how it looks :)

So my problem is, I would like to make the whole wall look a little more natural, but I can't think of anything more to write, so here's what I want: if you guys have any particular quote or song lyrics that mean a lot to you, or pictures that I could print out, you can sent them to me, or put them in the comments, or anything. I really really like inspirational quotes, so that would be so cool. I would like to see how far I can get this message to go.
Quotes are awesome.
So chat me, email me, comment below, and as always, subscribe. :)

I can't wait to see and hear all the quotes you guys give me. Thanks tons.

I am really excited.

Blessings, have an amazing weekend.
