Crazy Beautiful . . .

" So God created man in his own image , in the image of God he created him ; male and female he created them . " -Genesis 1 : 27 - ESV .


Chorus :
Whoa you’re oh so beautiful
You don’t need anyone’s approval
You’ve got to believe in your self
You know , you are
You’re crazy beautiful

My Thoughts . . .

Way to often , as humans , we usually care of what others say about what we look like , what we 're wearing , how our hair is done , what shoes we choose to wear , or even what color nail polish we may have on . Crazy right ? Yeah , I know , but these are things that people go through daily . Caring what other people think about our outter appearance can be the cause of many different things such as depression , suicide , or even hatred towards people . Usually when we think of what our peers may have said about how we look we start to their words . We believe that we are ugly , nobody will ever find us attractive and so on . We cant help what other people may think of us , the way we look - or even the things that may come out of their mouths , but I will say God made you in HIS image ! Therefore don't worry about what people may have to say about your outter appearance because its your inner appearance that counts . God thinks your beautiful beyond messure because HE made you ! Show them that its not you that you want them to see anyways , but your striving for them to see Him . My brothers and my sisters despite what anyone thinks you all are crazy beautiful . . .

Unashamed Love . . .

" Whoever believes in him will not be ashamed . " -Romans 10 : 11 - GWT .


Chorus :
Of a childlike faith and of my honest praise
And of my unashamed love
Of a holy life and of my sacrifice
And of my unashamed love
My Thoughts . . .

I came home one night from work and while listening to my pandora the song above came on . I liked the song but I didn't immediately catch on to what it was saying because I was having a conversation , amongst being on Twitter and Facebook as well . I didn't grasp what was being said until I YouTube 'd it to actually listen to it , just to make sure it was something I would perhaps want to download to my iPod . While I began to listen to the words I became in awe at what Jason Morant was saying . Listening to the song , thinking on my past events & current events kind of had me at a stand still . I thought back to the times where I knew I believed and loved Jesus but because of where I was in my life , I didn't feel that it was fit for me to go professing my love for Him . For awhile no one knew I was a christian because I didn't feel as though it was my " place " to just openingly share my faith with anyone UNLESS they asked . Oh , how wrong I was . I've come into contact with a lot of people and after listening to this song I was forced to ask myself " If you would have shared your faith with those who you did or didn 't know believed in Jesus , do you know how many souls you could have possibly brought to Christ alone ? " I can honestly admit that I had this ashamed love for Him . I didn't want my peers to outcast me any certain way other than what they already had . I wanted to be amongst the cool kids - to a certain extent . I can only ask God for forgiveness in not doing what I was placed here to do , and thats spread his word . My life has done a complete 180 and I can openly and happily admit that im unashamed to talk about my Savior ! I love Him so much and I feel that I owe Him this much plus more and that its my duty to spread the good news ! My friends I pray you all gain this unashamed love Jason Morant is singing of , no matter who turns their back on you - God Almighty will be more than pleased !
