"But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for a high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God's instruments to do His work and speak out for Him, to tell others of the night and day difference He has made for you-from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted." 1 Peter 2:9-10

When you are afraid..and other things

Have you ever heard a noise at night and you freak out? For instance (this is not a true story :say you were home alone and a person started to break into your house. What would your instinct be? Probably most of us would call 911. But have you ever thought just to ask God to protect you? God is there for you whenever you need Him whether it be on a test, getting in trouble, getting hurt,or someone breaking in to your house. He is there for you. He made you and He wants to protect and comfort you. Now if it is in your timing...we'll see about that. God has a time and a place for everything. He will provide everything you need. He has a plan and a design for your life and He knows when things are going to happen to you. So let Him take control. So all of you control freaks give it up to God. Wouldn't you rather let someone take control over your life that knew what was going to happen than for you to take control and not know what is going to happen?

You are beautiful!!!



Have you ever thought to yourself...I'm fat, I'm short, I don't like my curly  hair ;) I don't like the way I look. Well, when you say things like that, you are sorta saying God made something ugly or not pretty. But God sees you as beautiful and He created they way he wanted you. Or when your friends say your fat or your short or whatever, just dismiss that. Because YOU ARE beautiful, He sees you as beautiful and He sees you as His. When you are confused or don't really know who you are He says thats my son, thats my daughter... I created that masterpiece! :) No matter what anyone says you are beautiful because you are His! God made us the way He wanted us. So the next time you put yourself down because you don't like the way you look...Well God created you and YOU ARE beautiful.
XOXO,
Salem

He loves you!!/ You are His.

I know we have all heard that Jesus loves us, but do we really believe that? I know that I didn't until October of last year. Yes, I had heard that Jesus loves me...but honestly I never really thought that much about it. Until one night I was on my moms iPod looking at artist when I came upon John Mark McMillan. And then a song came on How He Loves.(Best song ever) And while I was listening to that song I literally began to weep. The Lord spoke to me, He said "Salem, you are my daughter and I love you!You are mine and you are forgiven." And then after that I just started crying even more. There are like I don't know 6 billion people on this planet and He loves you. And no matter if your a serial killer He loves you. No matter how many mistakes you make, we all make mistakes, but God will still love you. He will always love you. He knows how many hairs are your head...thats a lot.
      I'm gonna write something on a different subject now. And its gonna be all over the place, so bare with me. So a couple nights ago at youth, we talked about fitting in. When you don't know where you belong or you think you don't fit in, thats a good thing. God looks at you and says thats my son, thats my daughter and I am so proud him/her. 

XOXO
