We are all Beautiful

Ladies!
We are all beautiful. No matter what you think of yourself. Every time you compare yourself to others. You need to remind yourself you are beautiful, and made in the image of God. I am not saying to be "full of yourself" and think you are prettier or smarter than other. But not bring yourself down or compare yourself to others. You have to be secure in yourself or you will always have that depressed hole in your heart. Yes, we aren't perfect, but we still need to  think of ourselves as beautiful and a daughter of God who was chosen. Don't worry about your outward appearance (just a little) worry about the kind of person you are, your heart.

First of all, you shouldn't judge about the outward appearance of anyone PERIOD!, even if they are judging you hardcore. there is always some one to talk to (God) and he already knows.

God is always listening and even though He already knows what is going on in your live He is always there to give a listening ear.

If you have been thinking you aren't beautiful on the outside or the inside, or have been judging people because they have been judging you and have even been in tears because of them. Don't think you are a bad person because of this...CHANGE...if you think you need to change. Stop talking about it and DO IT!

I will be praying for all of you!

God Bless

Social Media

Social Media can be a big blessing or a huge problem for teens, young adults, kids, parents, and even elders. Something I love a bout social media is being able to get in touch with your friends and even people you haven't talked to in a while and see what they are up to now a days. Just recently I found one of my friends I was in 3rd grade with on Instagram. I haven't talked to her since 3rd grade, and it was such a huge blessing to talk to her again. I wasn't really sure if she still knew Jesus or chose to follow him after she left our Christian school and went to public school. But I come to find she was a little shaky with her faith and it was Jesus who called me to bring her back to Him. It was such a blessing to watch. But it can also cause some problems as well. A little while ago there where these posts going around that would say "Repost this and tag your friends, including me if you really care" and for me someone tagged me in it. But I knew for myself I wasn't going to repost it because if I did and forgot to tag someone or chose not to, someone was going to get hurt. Although I didn't repost it, someone still got hurt. The person that tagged me was all offended that I didn't repost and tag her, she thought I didn't consider her as a friend. I felt bad, of course as anyone would. But, I had to tell myself that so many more people would get hurt if I would have posted it. For me, my friend that got all offended that I didn't repost should know better, I am not blaming her, I am just saying that she should know me better than that. That I am her friend no matter what, that our friendship shouldn't depend on some silly Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter post. The bible says in 2 John 1:12 "Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that our joy may be complete." 

To me what that is saying is to go out and get together with your friends. If you are offended by any way, instead of writing some nasty comments and say things you will regret in the future. Just tell them something like this "Hey...I was a little hurt by something you said/did, cane we get together or facetime (if they live far away) and talk it out?"

Today I challenge you with this: Take a break from social media and most something about it challenging others to do it as well. Spend more time with God and your friends instead of social media and even after you get back on social media after say (1 month or whatever goal you set for yourself) and try to limit yourself and most importantly try not to limit your time with God and your friends..... 

God Bless

Purpose

~ PURPOSE~ 

   

Everyone has a purpose. Remember that, we may not all have the same purpose, but God created each of us to fulfill something according to his plan...maybe you don't know that purpose yet....maybe you don't think you have a purpose....but let me tell you this....I have always had a purpose to fulfill for Jesus, but I never thought I did and missed out on so much....my purpose is this....sharing the gospel and the love of Jesus through my words and my writings. In Psalm 16:11 it says "You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence." 

You have been known to God and if you find that purpose God has given you you will fill Him with joy. Trust me when I say this..."Once I found my purpose...I live life a lot fuller....I have more JOY in my life and love more.......YOU HAVE A PURPOSE! LIVE IT AND LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST!! 

God... I pray over everyone who just read this little devotion on "purpose" I pray that each and everyone of them will find their purpose and just be blessed that they did. That they will live life fuller, have more joy in their life and love more....Bless them.....

Love....your children in Christ <3 

Amen

God Bless,
