Reading the bible

Reading the bible can be hard, sometimes it can feel boring or hard to understand. And hard to know where to start. You can ask the Holy Spirit to help you to read the bible and for understanding.

It is important to read the bible because:
- it's The word of God
- it's the will of God
- it's a love letter from our daddy to us
- it's a promise book
- it's an instruction book for how to best live life
- it shows how God reveals himself and initiates a relationship with us

A great tip on how to make reading the bible more interesting and how to study the bible is to ask these questions:

- What does this scripture say about God?
- What does this scripture say about Jesus?
- What does this scripture say about Me?
- Is there a promise in this scripture?

If you haven't really read in the bible much before, here are some suggestions on where to get started:

The Gospel of Mark is the easiest gospel to get started with.
Acts
Ephesians
Romans

Or anywhere you want!

sites like biblegateway.com will let you see different translations of the bible. Some of the easiest to understand are The Message, New International Version and New Living Translation. They have more modern language.

YOU ARE PRECIOUS!

and being a teenage girl there is always a boy problem. ha ha
