Quran and Verses Therein-Submissions Proposal

Assalamualaikum. insha' Allah everyone is having a wonderful Ramadan. I was leafing through a calendar, today. Not just any calendar, however. It's one of those "Verse of the Day" calendars, with, you guessed it, one verse from the Holy Quran every day.
That got me thinking...and I came up with an idea.

Why don't you submit a verse from the Quran that especially touches you or has some special significance or impact on you? Make sure to include a bit of commentary. Just comment with the verse and a sentence or two(or more) about it. It can be anything, like, "I love how the words sound rolling off my tongue" or "This verse touches upon a very valuable reminder," etc...feel free to submit multiple verses! The plan is to compile all the verses and reflections, and post it here, insha' Allah.

And here is one verse among so, so many that I would like to share:

"O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you swerve, and if you distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well acquainted with all that you do."
-Surah An-Nisaa 4:135
