“Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain” by Sr. Mary Rabe

“Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain” by Sr. Mary Rabe

When I was a sophomore in high school, we had an assignment to memorize a bible verse. I chose this verse because it was short and easy to remember. We were living in a new house, and the words connected naturally to my life. Over time, the verse took on deeper meaning. In a world focused on building and rebuilding, it reminds us that our efforts need purpose beyond ourselves. I liked it then, and I still find it authentic and worth following today.
