Learning to take criticisms like a champ

Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness; let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;
let my head not refuse it. (Psalm 141:5)

Father says you’re beautiful and He wasn’t lying.  May your hands be used to paint Truth for the minds of many young women who suffer from lies and insecurities about themselves.  Shalom.

"Sometimes I think there is really only one Christian denomination in America: American Civil Religion - a consumerist, militarist, therapeutic, colonial, nationalist chaplaincy that baptizes and blesses whatever the richest and most powerful nation on the planet wants to do."

I will not break it.

A Christian prisoner in Cuba was asked to sign a statement containing charges against fellow Christians that would lead to their arrest. He said:

“The chain keeps me from signing this.”

The Communist officer protested, “but you are not in chains!”

“I am,” said the Christian. “I am bound by the chain of witnesses who throughout the centuries gave their lives for Jesus Christ. I am a link in this chain. I will not break it.”

He said to David, “Am I a dog that you come against me with sticks?” Then he cursed David by his gods. ”Come here,” the Philistine called to David, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts!”     David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with a dagger, spear, and sword, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel’s armies— you have defied Him. Today, the LORD will hand you over to me. Today, I’ll strike you down, cut your head off, and give the corpses of the Philistine camp to the birds of the sky and the creatures of the earth. Then all the world will know that Israel has a God, and this whole assembly will know that it is not by sword or by spear that the LORD saves, for the battle is the LORD’s. He will hand you over to us.” ____________ To the monsters in our lives.. we face you in the name of Yeshua.
