Love?

Recently I read that a 12-year-old boy in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, tragically hanged himself. Do you want to know why? Because the next day was his first day at a new school, he was overweight and he dreaded being taunted by others. That's really a tragedy, but I know how the boy felt, because I was sometimes taunted in school too. You know, I wasn't at a Christian school (as I always wished for), but in a German school with proud children who had 'famous' (meaning with money) parents. The thing was that I wasn't like them...I was usually silent at school and I wasn't doing all the bad things they were doing...because of this I got the label: pocăită (meaning 'repenter'/ Christian/ born-again girl) and I hated it. I hated that they called me like that. I wanted to be normal and left alone. I didn't want to be marginalized. I was just a girl with 10 or 12 years and I had my own scars, but children are like that. If they don't understand ot

This is great and it is very thought-provoking! Who is on the first place of your life? This question followed me through my new life (2 Corinthians 5:17) and God helped me to discover the things which took sometimes His place in my life! With His help I can let Him sit on the place which is His...hm..."I can let Him"? Who am I? Who am I to let Him occupy it? I'm just a human being, who withers like grass and drops off like a flower, but still GOD lets me to have my choice in giving Him the first place, what a loving GOD...what a perfect God...oh,He's so great!!!

In God's heart I am...accepted

Hey you, the one wondering if you’re enough, if you’d be loved if anyone really knew you— turn your heart this way for a moment, then lean in and listen close… Acceptance? You’ve got it. You don’t have to look any further than the hands of the One who made you, the heart of the One who loves you. You’re welcomed, held, cherished just as you are and encouraged to grow into all you’ll become. So hold your heart and head high; look the world in the eyes and say… “I’m His. I’m loved. I’m already accepted today.” –excerpt from God’s Heart for You, Embracing Your True Worth as a Woman by Holley Gerth
