Bowed but Beautiful

Sunday, Pastor Sims whom I dearly love, preached a sermon and I felt like for those few moments he was speaking directly to me. I have been going through somewhat of a rough spot here lately and can't seem to get out of it. I ask our Savior for direction and it seems like I get pushed farther and farther in this deep dark "hole" that I do not want to be in. Pastor Sims preached out of the book of Luke about a woman who was bowed for 18 long years and finally one day she met Jesus Christ and he called out to her, put his hand on her and she should straight and beautiful. He talked about how the woman walked around for these 18 long years and people would poke fun at her but she kept on, how the beautiful Jesus Christ saw her for who she really was, not her bowed back.
We all have our faults, even if I feel like I have had alot of them lately I got the message to "always remember that Jesus knows who we really are." We can make mistakes and not have to feel so down on ourselves all the time. And because I need to always remember this, I will continue my walk with him daily.

Jesus is chiseling away at us now so that when we get to heaven, we will be perfect.

Jesus bottles every tear that will ever flow down our different shaped faces.
