Girls

It is a blessing to live and serve with all these beautiful faces.

 Girls.

We are the same in every country I've been to.  We may speak different languages, or have different customs, but we all worry about our hair. We worry about our size.  We worry about our friends and our future.   We all want to be noticed.  We all want to be treasured.  We all want to be loved.

AND

Girls of every age

We were all created uniquely by God, perfectly in his image.  We are his daughters, and he loves us more than we can understand.

Wanting some of the girls to hold this truth closer to their hearts, we talked about it during Girls' Night.

"God's love makes us beautiful on the inside and on the outside." I shared.

"Really?!" Aom almost shouted like she embraced the idea for the very first time.  "Me too?"  She asked, pointing at herself.

"Yes you!"  I confirmed.

When we truly understand the depths of God's love for us, we don't have to be insecure about our hair.  It actually sounds silly to mention those two in the same sentence.  We don't have to worry about our future because we know Dad has it taken care of. 

My desire is to see the Thai and Chinese girls I am pouring into embrace these ideas.  The deeper our roots abide in the Father, the more naturally beautiful our lives become because they are being watered by the perfect, complete, quenching Living Water.
