Favorite Verse: Philippians 2:13, “…for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”
Favorite Person in the Bible (other than Jesus): Barnabas 
He was “the Encourager,” a caring and compassionate man who was willing to give of himself and his means. He believed in people and saw them as individuals of worth. He saw the other person as someone with potential, and often saw in them what others could not see. When they failed, he helped them to get up and try again. I believe Barnabas had the heart of Jesus.

Favorite Verse: James 1:22-25
Favorite Person in the Bible (other than Jesus): Moses
Not only is it encouraging and exciting to read about the many miraculous events that took place in the life of Moses, there are also so many key lessons and biblical truths found within his life story that can be applied to the lives of all believers. Here are just a few: First, all honor and glory belong solely to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Second, the Lord does not need you or I to be spiritual giants or have supernatural strength to serve Him. Third, He demands us to faithfully trust and obey Him no matter the circumstances. What does this mean for you and I? As fellow servants of Jesus Christ and ambassadors of the gospel, have faith. Trust the Lord. Know that He equips who He calls to accomplish His purposes for His glory.
