Isn't it amazing how you can bring God into everything? Like when you're planning a celebration, a wedding, a birthday, a graduation... and you want to include a verse from the Bible on the invitation. There's just something so beautiful about having that little piece of God's word there.
Here you'll find some verses that might be just right for whatever you're celebrating. I hope they're a blessing to you and that you find exactly what you're looking for.
Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.
“Before I formed you in the innermost parts I knew you, And before you came out from the womb I set you apart; I have given you as a prophet to the nations.”
¶Yahweh bless you, and keep you;
¶Yahweh make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you;
¶Yahweh lift up His face on you, And give you peace.’
Even to your old age I will be the same, And even to your graying years I will bear you! I have done it, and I will carry you; And I will bear you, and I will rescue you.
¶For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb.
I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.
For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares Yahweh, ‘plans for peace and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
“Yahweh your God is in your midst, A mighty one who will save. He will be joyful over you with gladness; He will be quiet in His love; He will rejoice over you with joyful singing.
“I will assemble those who grieve about the appointed feasts— They were from you, O Zion; The reproach of exile is a burden on them.
Your eyes have seen my unshaped substance; And in Your book all of them were written The days that were formed for me, When as yet there was not one of them.
The lovingkindnesses of Yahweh indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.
You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
For You, O Yahweh, have made me glad by what You have done, I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
¶One thing I have asked from Yahweh, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of Yahweh And to inquire in His temple.
and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’
Yahweh will keep you from all evil; He will keep your soul.
Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in From now until forever.
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your seed,
and you return to Yahweh your God and listen to His voice with all your heart and soul according to all that I am commanding you today, you and your sons,
by loving Yahweh your God, by listening to His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”
¶Your lovingkindness, O Yahweh, is in the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Yet those who hope in Yahweh Will gain new power; They will mount up with wings like eagles; They will run and not get tired; They will walk and not become weary.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
‘Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will make you mighty, surely I will help you; Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men,
knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. Serve the Lord Christ.
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may approve what the will of God is, that which is good and pleasing and perfect.
Yahweh is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him.
As each one has received a gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God—
And let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,
not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or understand, according to the power that works within us,
I will sing to Yahweh throughout my life; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
Let my musing be pleasing to Him; As for me, I shall be glad in Yahweh.
Yahweh is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.
He will work out the desire of those who fear Him; He will hear their cry for help and He will save them.
For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.
Therefore as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,
having been firmly rooted and being built up in Him, and having been established in your faith—just as you were instructed—and abounding with thanksgiving.
Rejoice always;
pray without ceasing;
in everything give thanks, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!
Let your considerate spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
