Broken Girl

Ever just feel broken?  There's been a hastag going around on Facebook #MeToo.  It's for those who have been sexually abused.  As someone who has been through sexual abuse though, I'm not really sure that's really going to help.  People know it goes on.  It's like when Michelle Obama started the hastag #BringOurGirlsHome.  It's not going to do anything.  What's going to change is if people DO something about it.  You can raise all the awareness you want, but people still aren't going to do anything about it.

If there is abuse going on, you need to tell the police.  Report it. 

Of course, there are other ways of being broken too.  Maybe you went through a lot of bullying growing up.  Kids - no, people in general can be cruel; and it's gotten worse over time because people refuse to do anything about it.  There are always going to be bullies - kids and adults.  Unless we do something about it though, nothing is going to change.

Whatever you may be going through, if you are feeling worthless - guy or girl, you are NOT worthless!  You are priceless!  No matter what anyone says or does to you, you are worth more than the stars in the sky.



Look at the birds.  They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your Heavenly Father feeds them.  And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are?  So don't be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.


Matthew 6:26; 10:31



You are precious to your Heavenly Father.  He loves you SO much that he sent his ONLY Son to die for you!  Would you send your child to die for someone who was evil and wicked?  Of course not!  But that's what he did.  People are evil and wicked - all of us.  We are but filthy rags.



We are all infected and impure with sin.  When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags.  Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind.

Isaiah 64:6



We are cleansed though by Jesus' sacrifice.  Without Jesus though, we cannot even get near the Father.  Through Jesus though, we are called God's children (1 John 3)!  You are a son or daughter of God!  No one can steal you away from him.  No matter what anyone says, you are beautiful in his eyes.  You mean more to him than you could EVER imagine!
