An Open Letter To A Sinner

Dear Sinner,

I know how you feel. I know what it's like to feel like you aren't enough—like you're doing something wrong. I know what it's like to feel like everyone is judging you. I know what it's like to be scared to put your hands up in worship in fear of judgment of others. I know.

I have good news for you, Sinner. You are not alone. You are one of billions of Christians on this earth, and they all sin too.

Did you know that God, in His holy plan, decided to send His Son to earth for you? His ONE AND ONLY Son. He sent Him to this cruel, hateful, mean world so that He would die.

I know what you're thinking—"I've heard all of this before."—But I want you to think about this all. God created with His hands—the very hands He made YOU with—and He sculpted His Son. Not only this, but He sent that Son to die. But this death was not meaningless. This is the most important death in history!

THIS DEATH SETS YOU FREE!

That's right, Sinner! Because our gracious God sent His Son to earth, you and I are free. Those burdens you carry around, those shackles around your feet? Leave them at the foot of the cross. God is waiting for you to surrender!

God is for us. He wants us to be free which is WHY He sent His Son! In sending this man named Jesus to the earth, we are able to have a relationship with God—even as sinners.

You are enough. You are loved. You are wonderfully made. You're made new.

God wants you.

So, Sinner, hopefully, that cruel, hateful, mean world becomes a little more beautiful to you. The world around us was sculpted and created by the same amazing God that forgives even the sins that seem to be unforgivable. The world around us was meant to be beautiful, and God is pleased when we see it this way.

I'm praying for you, and please pray for me.

Blessings,

A Fellow Sinner

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.
