Have you ever wanted to write an encouraging Bible verse in a card or note, but didn’t know which verse? I have been there many times, so I created this list of verses as a reference. These will fit the topic you need, no matter the occasion.

I even like to write Bible verses in cards for unbelievers. You never know when the Holy Spirit will speak to someone through the verse you write.

I will continually be adding to this list as I come across more that would be fitting.
