currently, i'm reading "god never blinks" by regina brett. it's not bad. but here's what caused me to "whoa"
background: the author is talking about a movie she saw, chalk talk. in the movie, the host tells stories about people in recovery. he tells a story, "about a woman who had come to him in tears after her drunken husband called her a whore."

"would you be upset if he called you a chair?" he asked her.
"of course not," she said.
"why not?" he asked.
"i know i'm not a chair," she said.
"don't you know that you aren't a whore?" he asked.
it doesn't matter what people call you...
god is love, nothing is impossible.
solid truth Dan! love this.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how we take on certain things to define who we are - yet we stand confident in other things refusing to be defined by them. Identity is huge - and God completely spells it out for us...we are daughters and sons...it doesn't matter what other people call us. love, love dude!
Dan, you are so right! We need to see ourselves the way God sees us and that is through love! We have been forgiven and our old selves are dead; we are alive in him and we are new creations! Thanks for the reminder.
