Frightened and Scared in the Midst of Hope

Ones life is a very precious thing. Given to us by God to fulfill a purpose. We are beautiful in His eyes. We are worth more than gold. So why tell someone that they are worthless and ugly. That they are not needed in the world? Who would do that? 

The sad reality is, yes. People say things like that and worse to other people. They are so engulfed in themselves, they don't even realize what they are saying. But those words eat away at the victim. Those words are Satan lies. Satan wants us to believe we are not capable of being loved by God. That we are horrible sinners. DON'T BELIEVE HIM! We are saved sinners, by the grace of God we have the opportunity to spend eternity with Christ in Paradise. 
For some those lies have taken their toll and some cases have taken their life. They believe those lies. Their mind is not in the right place and they sincerely believe that they are worthless and unlovable. For those of us to whom those lies are easily thrown away, we need to lift each other up.  We need to be aware of those who do struggle to believe the lies or not. They are alone. We need to be a part of their lives and remind them Who made them and Who created them before it's too late. 
Having two friends who were sucked into believing those lies that they decided to attempt to end the hurt, (both unsuccessful thank God!) the worry will always be in mind weather they will try again. But I can't have that rest on my shoulders. That's what Jesus came to do. He became a baby in order to only end His life in the most painful way imaginable because He wanted to bear our loads and sins. To take care of them COMPLETELY. That's what Christmas is about: Jesus here for us.
