To many the Bible is just an old, dusty, decaying book of lectures and morals and punishment. If read without understanding and faith it could be viewed that way, I guess. But to me, it is the living, breathing word of God and I am so very thankful for it in my life.
There are many, many scriptures, passages in the Bible, that I hold dear to me. But I think the one that always comes to mind, especially when my heart is troubled and anxiety wreaks havoc in my soul, is Matthew 11:28-30.
28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-ladened and overburdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
Today, and every single day of my life, I am grateful for Matthew 11:28-30.
What are you grateful for today?

Loved this post. And I love that you posted that verse. I had forgotten about it and so needed to read it today.
To be honest, I am one of those you speak of who read the Bible without understanding and faith. I haven't been able to find comfort from it for a long, long time.
I hope that this will change for me.
Such an inspiring scripture!
Regardless of opinion on belief and faith, the bible has some amazing imagery and writing and for me it is inspiring for that reason. x
