The Truth

I found this a while back and it has stuck with me ever since. I love how simple it is put and I really hope Ava will grow to embrace this as the truth. With the world throwing so many lies at girls it is important that I constantly remind her of these truths and I think the way these are worded will allow her to grasp just how special she is at a young age.

- I made her...she is different. She's unique. With love I formed her in her mother's womb. I fashioned her with great joy. I remember, with great pleasure, the day I created her.

(Psalm 139:13-16)

- I love her smile. I love her ways. I love to hear her laugh, and the silly things she says and does. She brings Me great pleasure. This is how I made her.
(Psalm 139:17)

- I made her pretty and not beautiful, because I know her heart, and she knew she would be vain...I wanted her to search out in her heart and to learn that it would be Me in her that would make her beautiful...and it would be Me in her that would draw friends to her.
(1 Peter 3:3-5)

- I made her in such a way, that she would need Me. I made her a little more lonesome than she would like to be...Only because I wanted her to turn to Me in her lonliness...Only because I need for her to depend on Me...I know her heart, I know if I had not made her like this she would go her own way and forget Me...her Creator.
(Psalm 62:5-8)

- I have given her many good and happy things...because I love her.
(Psalm 84:11, Romans 8:32)

- Because I love her, I have seen her broken heart...And the tears she's cried alone. I have cried with her, and had a broken heart, too.
(Psalm 56:8)

- Many times she has stumbled and fallen alone only because she would not hold My hand. So many lessons she's learned the hard way becasue she would not listen to My voice.

(Isaiah 53:6)

- So many times I have sat back and sadly watched her go her merry ways alone, only to watch her return to My arms, sad and broken.
(Isaiah 66:2)

- And now she is Mine again...I made her, and then I bought her...Because I love her.
(Romans 5:8)

- I have to reshape her and remould her...To renew her to what I had planned for her to be. It has not been easy for her or for Me.
(Jeremiah 29:11)

- I want her to be conformed to My image...This high goal I have set for her, because I love her.
(2 Corinthians 2:14)

Note: This is worded to girls, but applies just as well to boys/guys. I mainly spoke of girls because well, 1. I have a daughter and 2. girls are typically more concerned with self-image and the struggle to fit in and feel loved than guys. But, it is also just as true for boys.
