The daily thread.

You are a pearl of great price who God wanted so badly He gave His Son for you.

Thats really something. Not to complain or to sound pitiful, but i dont like myself very well. I have been far too wrong in life to like myself. I ask God why He made me the way He did. The fact that He made me at all is praiseworthy however. I must put my faith and hope in God, that I am worth something

 

[W2L]

I sometimes watch comedies and movies like the one about Mr. Rogers, and the Rich Mullins story, or Les Miserables, the musical, etc.

Mr Rogers biography would be cool to see.

i used to have self-loathing. God's grace gently led me in healing through it. He even gave me a sense o' humor about my worries (well most of the time)

His tenderness is healing. The way He described Himself helped me to drop my armor and defenses.

He said to come to Him, that he is "lowly in heart".

It is.

He became who he was because he was overweight and bullied in school when he was very young. That's when he started caring about how others are treated.

I never knew that.

I never knew that.

Yes, he channeled his pain into recognizing and objecting to anyone being made to feel "demeaned". That's why he started the tv program.

That's just the thing, God made us perfect.
But we made all kinds of bad choices that messed up His beautiful creation.
Then He remade us as new creations. 2 Corinthians 5:17
Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
Even though God made us new creations we still have our old bodies and minds with there bad habits and flaws.
But if we let Him, He will take care of those too. Philippians 2:12-13

Sounds edifying.

 

[brinny]

Sounds edifying.

It's a treasure.

He was just the same in person as the way he was on tv.

He was on a "mission"

He puts me to shame.

 

[brinny]

He puts me to shame.

Awwwww that's not the idea. We can appreciate him and his inspiration and his legacy.

He's a clip from the documentary (i hope you can watch it):
