“My Life Verse Kept Me Rooted”
“Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.”
Christine writes:
Praying in the Bible while my daughter was having brain scans, I continued to get the same verse at least three times. On the day of her diagnosis, I sat in the waiting room and watched a tv screen in front of me. Her doctor was on the tv screen and I heard him say “Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” Chills went up and down my spine and I knew that God was by my side. She was diagnosed with autism and the lifeverse helped me stay in faith. Later, I pasted the verse on my mirror, put a copy in my purse, and tried to remember the verse location. Reading the Bible again, I saw Dueteronomy 11:18 “Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads” and felt a strong desire to create jewelry so women could remember their life verse and wear it upon their arms. Today I am the owner and designer of LifeVerse Jewelry, inspired by the Bible and by my walk with God.
