Bible verses and books of significance

I wanted to highlight some verses and books that have been significant to me in regards to Julia's life. I'm sure there are more... but that's all I can think of at midnight. :) Now it's time to go to bed.

BIBLE VERSES:

Jeremiah 1:5
Before I shaped you in the womb,
I knew all about you.
Before you saw the light of day,
I had holy plans for you...

Isaiah 43:1
But now, this is what the LORD says—
he who created you, Jacob,
he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.

I John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear...

Psalm 139:13-16
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

Romans 5:1-5
1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame (or disappoint,) because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Romans 8:18-39
See blog post for full passage. I couldn't choose just bits and pieces... the whole thing is amazing.
