like oh so God is like everyone else. i'm just a stupid kid to Him too, ok. no big.'

just curious...do yall see a buncha gobbledygoop ^ ? if ya do, do ya know why its gobbledygoop?

anyways, as a child i learned 'valuable' lessons for living life.

lesson 1) people who arent beautiful to look at have no value.

wow! how much more wrong can a person be? but that is completely opposite of the truth. how we look on the outside has completely zero value. for the first time in my life i love. never loved before because 1) i had no value and therefore was not worth receiving love 2) no one else in the world was beautiful enough to pass the worthy-of-love test. what a sad sad world. enemy 0 - God 1

lesson 2) learn all your lessons the first time you hear them. and don't ever forget. if anyone ever says to you, "didnt i tell you not to ever do such-n-such again, or you would be in big trouble?", then you are a worthless failure and the punishment is beyond physical but forever unforgivable. you will never again be trustworthy in any way and you will always be looked at as a failure. oh yeah and these failures? - they stack up on each other. so the more times you fail the more failures they remind you that you have committed. no way yer diggin outta all that. why bother?

WOW! wrong! the bible says forgive as He forgives us! how do 'Christians' not know this? how do they teach their children so wrong-ly? enemy 0 - God 2

lesson 3) everything that ever goes wrong in your life is your fault regardless of whether you did anything or whether it was done to you or whether you were just there when something happened. you must DO something to make it all better because you must have DONE something to make it happen. somehow someone has to pay for the injustice that has been done. if someone does something wrong some manner of recompense must be paid. how can we ever make it up to them and get past their rejection. its like a faulty item on an assembly line that gets kicked off the line at the quality check point.

WOW! the Bible says no human is or has ever been perfect 'cept Jesus. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:17-21 enemy 0 - God 3

is it me or do all these things seem to be tied together to you? hmmmmm...Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. 6In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight. Prov 3:5-6

God is so good to me. "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Thank you Father...now why didnt you show me this sooner...sry thats me just backtalkin a bit. i know the answer. thank you Father for the trials and bringin me thru in Your perfect timing. Thank you Father for the trials still to come and the tools You have given me to help me get thru them. I give You all the praise and glory cuz i'm nothing without you. Thank you Jesus for loving me and the price you paid for me. it's your sacrifice that allows me eternal life. nothing i can say can express my gratitiude. but my life is yours. teach me to be like You.

amen

Sorta...I just love you! I love getting to follow along on your journey. You are a quick learner...or maybe you just take Him at His word quicker than most.
Yes...I agree...all those do seem to be linked together. I think it is because it is our value and worth being determined by us, by our appearance, abilities and achievements, rather than our value being in whose we are. Full stop. Those can be tough lessons to unlearn...but the scorecard seems to indicate that you are learning them. Thanks for sharing.
Gobbledygoop....yep...I see it too.

Yes I see lots of goobledy goop here...but I also see a person who is reaching and learning despite all the goop that is in their life.
I see a person taking all the negative and turning it into positive.
I see God winning on this score card.
I too just love you Sorta! It is awesome sitting back and watching what God is doing in your life.
You are such a blessing to me and I am so proud of you.
Love ya chic
