No matter what others think of you...say to you...or say about you....You are beautiful and worthy in the eyes of Jesus...Never forget.


I will never forget the first time I heard this song, driving along in my car heading to work.  I had a lot going on and I had not quite turned it all over to God.  I felt like the words of this song spoke right to me.  It sent tears streaming down my face... tears of JOY!  The song still gives me chills to this day.  I am so thankful we have such an amazing God that loves us so much! 

"For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16 NLT

If you feel like you are a "nothing"... If you feel like you have made too many mistakes in your life... or you have been hurt by people - These are all lies of the enemy.  People who feel they are "Nothing", "Damaged goods", or feel like they have made too many mistakes in their life are really treasures in the eyes of Christ.  You are remade when you give him your life. WASHED CLEAN! When you repent (ask for forgiveness and turn away from those sins) He considers you a NEW CREATION. Something Beautiful. :)

"...he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair." Isaiah 61:3b NLT

And for those that are hurting or have been hurt God offers comfort and reminds you of his love.  Nothing anyone says can steal the joy God has given you. If you feel that way that is a lie of the enemy and just what he wants.  You have the choice to be happy or sad.  Your mind can and will set your mood.  You can choose to make that bad mood you woke up in a good mood or continue living your day in a bad mood.  Don't let the enemy attack your mind.  When someone upsets you, go to God about it! You will soon find out God will give you the knowledge of how to deal with the problem or he will work on the person without your help. 

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed" - Psalm 34:18 NLT
