A Love Letter from God (Part Two)
stkaallen

You are a citizen of heaven and not of this world.

There is no need to spend so much energy wanting to look like the world, talk like the world, and act like the world so, instead of being discouraged that you don't fit in, wear it as a badge of honor that I have separated you for purpose. I want you to be proud to be my daughter. I didn't create you to be weighed down with shame, but you can't grow unless you let go of the world's idea of who you should be. Don't let your heart become envious of those around you. Comparison will only entice you to follow a path of spiritual death. It is my will that you should live, not die, but the only road to life is through me. You may want to fit in with the world, but I want you to fit in with heaven.

My word is a mirror, and as you spend more time internalizing it, my word will show you your true identity in me. The more time you spend with me, the more you will become like me!. How amazing! You don't have to accept the broken image of yourself that this world tries to force feed you because I've given you another choice; an image that is whole, flawless and blameless in my sight; and image that radiates love, peace and holiness rather than confusion, self hatred and fear.

I hold you in the palm I of My right hand and no one can pluck you out, but from the depths of your heart, I can see you resent me.

You're on the outside looking into this curse world through my nail scarred hands; the token of my unconditional love for you; when on the cross I bore your pain, so that you could be healed; where I shed tears so that you could smile, where My heart was broken so that you could be made whole,and where I died so that you could live. Yet, you see my protective hands as prision bars.

How long will you despise me? How long will you fight against my perfect will for your life? It stands before you as mountain. Yet, you still pounch and kick against it until your knuckles and feet are broken and bleeding, mirroring the condition of your heart, but I am the ultimate healer; the only one that can bind together broken bones and broken hearts. When will you surrender to me?

Let Me in.

I know you hear my roar as my love beats against your hardened heart like waterfalls. Even though you pretend that my cries are mute to you, I will still fight for you. My strength is Infinite; just as I give power to the water to cut away rock, I will cut away the walls you've built against Me. I will slip through your cracks, watering your wounds until your scars bloom into flowers.

Love,

God

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
