Ever since last week, I've been in love with the song Hero by Superchic[k](it's on my music videos page). I sing it all the time. Sometime last week, a girl I've never met started sitting at our lunch table, and there wasn't enough room for her so someone couldn't sit with us. The other kids at my table moved away from her, and so did I, but she just followed us. None of us wanted to be mean to her, but no one wanted her to sit with us, so some kids told her to move. I felt sort of bad, but I didn't say anything. Then, in chorus, there's this girl who was telling me some stuff about her cousin. I was like, who is she? and she said that she sat with me at lunch today. Then I realized she was the girl who sat down with us. Now I started to stop feeling bad for her because that girl in chorus made it sound like she was mean and rude. Eventually the girl from lunch stopped sitting with us, and a girl who I sit with said that she saw her crying this morning telling someone "They don't like me!" I don't know if the girl at my lunch table was tellnig the truth about her crying, but I would also hate to think she'd lie to us about something like that. Now I started feeling bad for her again. That night in bed I was singing the lyrics to Hero silently in my head since I wasn't that tired, when all of a sudden it hit me. It's like God slapped me across the face and said, "Duh!"(Of course he wouldn't really do that). The first lines in the song are, "No one sits with him, he doesnt fit in. But we feel like we do when we make fun of him. Cause you want to belong, do you go along? Cause his pain is the price paid for you to belong." I couldn't believe that I've been singing that song everyday thinking nothing of it, and this girl was right there in the middle of it. We weren't mean to her like the boy in the song, but she probably felt really bad about it. I plan on apologizing tomorrow, but I don't think it would do any good. I don't know if any of those rumors I heard from the girl in chorus, or what the girl at my lunch table said are true, but even if they are, no one deserves to be treated like that. Just like no one deserves Jesus, he showed mercy on us anyway and he died for us! It's simple to hear it in sunday school or tell someone about it on Easter, but wow, if you really think deep into it, it's crazy. I don't think that's the best way to put it, but still. It's amazing. It's awesome! ♫Our God, is an awesome God he reigns, from heaven above with wisdom, power, and love, our God is an awesome God.♫
Prayer of the day: "Dear God, I pray that all throughout my life you will help me make the right choices and lead me down the right paths. I want to grow in my faith and help others come to know you as I have. Amen"
Today in church, I was leafing through my bible, (it's an 'Adventure Bible' so it has a lot of pictures and bible fun facts)when I read that the book of Hebrews is actually written to show how the Christian faith is superior to the Old Testament times.(Judism) Long ago in Old Testament times-BC-there were no Christians, there were only Jews. This is because when Christ came to earth and died for us, the Jews split into 2 different religions because many Jews believed that Jesus wasn't Christ, and that he was just a good man. The ones that believed he was Christ became Christians, so now, the Jews are still waiting for their Messiah to come. Isn't that crazy! All the signs prophecied in the Old Testament about Christ, Jesus fit. There's no way to deny it! And yet many people still do. And the sad part is many people do beleive in God and Jesus, but they think that He could never forgive them. That's what I'm telling you, God forgives everyone, as long as you accept him as savior. We're not worthy of Him, we don't deserve him, and yet he loves us anyway. So let Jesus into your heart today, just tell him you love him and that you want him as your savior.
Prayer of the day: "Thank you God, for loving me no matter what. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I'm glad that no matter what happens I can look forward to heaven someday. Amen."
The most important thing you need to know in life is that God loves you. John 3:16-17 says "For God so loved the World, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." Now this passage isn't saying that God can make you live forever on Earth and just get really old and turn to dust. It means that if you accept Jesus as your Savior, then when your body dies, your soul will go to Heaven to be with Jesus forever. Because Sin seperates us from God, our only way to God is through Jesus. In John 14:6, Jesus says, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." And, noboy's perfect. Everybody sins. Wether you tell a white lie, or you sneak out after dark, both are sins, both seperate you from God. But, with God, he can help you make the right choices to lead you down the right path, like it says in The Lord's Prayer, "...lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil." Satan will try to tell you otherwise. He'll be right there beside you trying to pressure you into doing something you know isn't right. (I know this is starting to sound like Veggie tales, but it's some important stuff.) As long as you have accepted Jesus as your savior, the Holy Spirit can be on the other side guiding you away from Satan and no-good paths. Did you know that Satan used to be one of God's Angels? Yep. His name was Lucifer and he thought that he could overpower God, so he rebelled. He's always trying to overthrow God even today, using people like you and me. So, accept Jesus into your heart today. And tell your freinds. Just pray this simple Prayer with me. ♥"Dear Heavenly Father, I know I've sinned. Please come into my heart right now, and help me make the right choices. I need you. In Jesus' name, Amen."♥ Remember to read the Bible as much as you can, and if you don't own one, please bring up that discussion on the Discussions page and I can help. Now spread the Word of God to all who need to hear it. You can give them my site URL if you'd like.
God bless you.
