Statements

Thank you for changing my life with just a few statements. I mean really there are somethings that you have said to me that carry more weight then you could possible imagine.

“You don’t have to suck in”

Was such an unexpected statement. It took me by my heart and brought me closer to you. I know it is simply so silly but it has changed how I look at myself. That single statement helped me to see that I am beautiful. It helped me believe in this more then I ever had.

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. Isaiah 61:3

By the way did you know that I love Isaiah it is such a good book. Sometimes it is actually really hard to understand but also it is so wonderful at the same time. You see how much God loves us. Like this verse is underlined in my bible and I read it so often.

53 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. 4 Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression[a] and judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was punished.[b]
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.10 Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes[c] his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
11 After he has suffered, he will see the light of life[d] and be satisfied[e];
by his knowledge[f] my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,[g] and he will divide the spoils with the strong,[h]
because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Sorry I gave you whole chapter but I wanted you to have context.

Back to the point :) When you speak to me know that you have power. Power in a beautiful way. A way that not many have in my life. When you speak I listen and heed to it. Not always but most of the time.

Thank you for speaking beautiful thing into my life. For believing in me and when I don’t and encouraging me when I need it.

Thank you

p.s. there are other things you have said that have had that same impact. :) maybe I will list them at a later date.
