we are sinners… we are not only sinners
we are weak… we are not only weak
we fail… we are not always failures
we have destroyed… also we have loved
you, God, do not limit us to the stories by which the world knows us. you see much more in us than the labels we give ourselves. give us courage to defy all expectations - especially our own - and in your love become all of who we are.
in Heidi Baker's recent blog entry
(http://www.irismin.org/wordpress/)
she reminds us:
The love of Christ Jesus causes us to spend ourselves without ceasing. I will leave you with a favorite quote from St. Francis: “Each one of us is what he is in the eyes of God, nothing more, nothing less. We all have been created in the image of God to love and be loved.”
u are what you are in the eyes of God...let that one sink in deep.
it doesnt matter what men think of me....
