A note from The Beautiful For Thee Editor:
The thoughts presented from Dianne on Choice Silver, come from her personal experience from her bed of affliction. She lives with physical debilitation, every day. Pain and weakness are her constant companions. Her words of wisdom are not the empty babblings of pious Christianity, but truth learned first hand. Her faith is real. Most days, that is all she has to lean on. Because of adversity…she is growing strong in the Lord and she inspires me.
May all who read her thoughts, be blessed and challenged.
I Just Love You….Forever and Always and No Matter What!
Ephesians 4:16 “From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”
I am one of the most insecure people I know. People tell me I'm way too sensitive and I wonder sometimes if I'll ever feel "normal" like everyone else seems to feel.
There is nothing particularly special about me outside of the fact that I am the only me there is. And... you are the only you there is. I don’t know how special that makes us, but we are all unique that is for sure.
I have friends who almost never cry. I have some who cry all the time. Some are quiet, some are funny. Some are healthy and some are sick. Some talk a lot. Some are home bodies and some love to travel. Some are bossy and some let others boss them around. Some are laid back and some are very high strung. The list of differences could go on for a long time.
All I know is... I love them all. I learn so much from my sisters in the Lord. They help me when I'm feeling insecure and being way too sensitive. Some give me just the kick in the pants I need to wake me up and some give me a hug that comforts my weak heart.
Somehow God fits us all together and if we allow it, He can use all of our differences to help make each other better, and become more like Him. Sometimes those differences can be annoying if we're not careful.
I know this is no big secret, but the devil loves to see walls of all kinds built up between God’s people. For one thing he hates the Lord’s church! For another, he hates God’s children.
It really shouldn't matter so much to us what kind of personality we have or what makes us different from others. We are supposed to die daily to self anyway!
God is the one that made us all different. It was actually His plan for it to be that way.
I Corinthians 4:7 “For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? Now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?”
God has a perfect plan and a perfect place for each of us to serve Him. We need to respect that in one another.
The Bible explains it for us in I Corinthians 11:1-31 and in I Corinthians 12. God tells us the manner in which we are to serve. Nothing we do is worth anything without love. It needs to be the unfeigned, fervent kind.
I Peter 4:8 “And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.”
I'm so thankful for those who know me and love me anyway.
I Peter 1:22 “Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:”
God is so good and I am beyond thankful for my church family.
Please dear Lord, help me have a heart that is pure. Help me do my part where you have placed me. Please keep my love for others that unfeigned and fervent kind.
Dianne
