What is your favorite Bible verse, and why? 
A: Proverbs 4:23 - "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." After studying and meditating on this theme verse for a year, it became my new favorite. It is a constant reminder that God looks on the heart, and that to be genuine before God is our first priority. From that everything else will come. Who we truly are on the inside will determine what we become through our actions.
