Jesus ISN'T. We ARE.

Have you ever had a thought that sounded like this: God doesn't care about me, He only cares about Himself? I am sure you have. I have too :/


   BUT let me remind you: GOD IS NOT SELFISH. Jesus DOES care about you! Just because He doesn't give you what you WANT doesn't mean that He doesn't care about you or that He is selfish.


    Remember...Even though Jesus doesn't give us ALL of OUR WANTS...He DOES give us ALL of OUR NEEDS. You may say "But what about HOMELESS people?" Yes. Having shelter is a need. BUT we also should put our TRUST in GOD and have FAITH rather than just sit back and say "God is selfish".


    Also God sent HIS ONLY SON to DIE on the cross for US. That is NOT selfish in any way!


Jesus went through this:

While WE were the people who were doing this:

WE MOCKED HIM AND SPIT ON HIM. BUT He loves us NO MATTER what...that's not selfishness...that's TRUE LOVE!

BE Yourself

 Be who God made YOU to be! The world and the people in it may tell you "Your weird" or "Your not pretty", BUT don't let that getting in your way of being who God made you to be! Here are some tips on how to not let mean people get in your way:

• PRAY. not just for YOURSELF, but pray for the person that is "holding you back" from being YOURSELF.

• If it is more of a "embarrassing" thing to be yourself or if you are shy, then what you should do is slowly start doing things how YOU would want to (obviously when I say "do things the way you want to, I mean do the RIGHT thing while being YOURSELF) and as you keep on doing things "how you want to", pretty soon you will be ALL YOU :)

• Talk to your parents, teacher, or any adult you trust would give good advice. I think you should go to a parent (girl to mom, boy to dad)  because who doesn't know you better than the person with you everyday? :) Even if you are thinking "Why would I go to my parents?", TRUST ME. They are smarter than you think and can REALLY help.

REMEMBER BE YOURSELF. and at the same time...
LOVE WHO YOU TRULY ARE...
who God made you to be.
