From Grace
Dear, well...Everyone,
I wanted to tell you something. I wanted to tell you what you are not.
You are not your worst habit. You are not your weight, not your height. Not your grades. Not your clothes, not your makeup brand, not the quality of your favorite -- or only -- dress.
You are not your social situation, your financial situation, your class in life. You are not what the mean girls at school say. You are not your level of genius or your favorite subject. You are not your glasses or your braces.
You are not the guys who fall all over you or the guys who never even saw you. You are not the fight you just had with your best friend or the number of exes that you've had.
You are not your mistakes, your sins, or shortfalls.
Now I want to tell you what you are.
You are a Child of God. You are a princess who is worth the price that Jesus Christ paid for you. You are a daughter of the One True King. You are His love for you.
You are what the King of Kings says you are...and you are worth more than this world can ever give you.
Think of this: God formed you with His hands. Every crease of skin was folded and formed by God. He painted your eyes and your hair to be the exact color He thought was beautiful.
Then, when sin became prevalent and it became nearly impossible to not sin, Jesus Christ paid a price so that, through repentance and forgiveness, we could be with Him forever. Yes, you read that right -- Christ wants you with Him forever.
He didn't just die. He bore every single ounce of pain this world would ever know so that you don't have to do it alone. And when I think of the pain I've seen...that I could never have borne on my own...well, WOW.
It's been said that if you were the only person left on this entire planet, Jesus Christ still would have died for you.
That is the God we serve. <3
So...if you're struggling, run to Him. And never forget who and Whose you are.
Signed,
Grace
