God Sees What Matters.

How many times have you thought to yourself "I'm so ugly." or, "If only I wasn't this fat." "If I just didn't have this or that." and so on.
A bunch right?
But how many times have you told yourself, "I'm beautiful."
How many times have you actually believed you are beautiful just the way you are? How many times have you told yourself, "In God I am beautiful."
God doesn't see what the world classifies as ugly. He sees your heart. He sees your true self. Your real and true beauty. He sees YOU.
The world judges us by our looks, but God judges us by what's in our heart.
Too much of the time we focus on what the world sees instead of what God sees. When we should be focusing on God we get caught up in what other people think of us. Here's a reminder. You are beautiful. God has made YOU exactly the way He wants you. We destroy our bodies because of what the world thinks. We ignore God when it comes to things like that. When we try to get that "perfect flat stomach" or "thin thighs" we have out focus on ourselves instead of God. Our focus should always be on God.
Now don't get me wrong, exercising is good for you. And you should do it. But don't be so focused on perfecting yourself that you forget the true Perfect One.
God has a plan for you. He has a plan for everything. Don't focus so much on you. Focus on God.
More of Him, less of me.

God's Art.

I walked out to the fence where my land stops and my neighbors starts. I was only there to catch the fighting cats, but something else stopped me. It was the beauty. The lovely pond, the wonderful blue sky, and the endless trees and magnificent fields. As I rocked back and forth on  the wire fence, admiring the serene beauty I started to think. This is God's art. I thought. And I'm God's art. I am beautiful because God created me. It's so awesome that God wanted me in this world, that I have a purpose. That God saw me fit to fulfill this purpose in life. Suddenly everything seemed OK. Being behind on school was OK, fighting with my parents seemed stupid and OK, all my worries were so little and stupid. Everything was OK. Everything I had just thought went to my heart. Knowing that God created beautiful, wonderful things. Nothing changed but somehow everything did. Jesus loves me and he gave me a purpose in life. His purpose. It's truly an honor 💕 Just...

Some see a weed, I see a wish.

Have you ever seen one of these? Well many people call it a weed.  But what I see is a wish.  A prayer really.  Whatever I wish for  I pray about to.  So for me it's a reminder to pray.  Then I just pray about so much more so that "weed"  helps me spend more time with God.  What is it you see? A weed or a wish?

Love, Peace, Hope, Joy.

The words love, hope, peace and joy used to be just words to Me. But after really being depressed and stressed I gave all my problems to God and I'm trusting him to take care of me. The other day I was feeling really bad and I got really mad and upset when some girl was being insensitive about my grandpa's  death. She probably didn't know it but it still hurt me all the same. So anyway I was feeling horrible and I had been fighting with my mom and so I was upset. And then I thought of the song "Something in the water"  by Carrie Underwood. And in the song she talks about giving everything bad over to God and she found love, and strength and now she is changed. So I went in my bedroom,  I fell to my knees,  and I asked God to forgive me for not trusting him when I know I should have,  and I gave him everything. I'm happy now. I am loved by God,  I can hope in God, I get Joy from God and and most importantly to me I have found peace in God. The Lord is...
