I Don’t Like My Smile

I Don’t Like My Smile

Identity issues

“A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health.” (Proverbs 15:30 NLT)

When I was younger, I smiled and giggled at every silly thing. But one day, a random stranger commented, “She looks good, but her teeth are jutting out”. My friends, who heard this statement repeated it every time we met and made fun of me.

I was only a teenager at that time, and that statement scarred me. I became conscious of my teeth every time I smiled, talked or laughed. So much so that, I even changed the way I smiled for photographs.

This incident left a deep scar in me.

When I had an encounter with God, I realized that God loved me so much that He was willing to heal me of every visible and invisible scar. I could sense the sweet Holy Spirit nudge me every time I smiled and was reminded of that stranger’s statement, until one day I surrendered that scar to Jesus. He touched me and I was healed.

Not only this, but wonderful Holy spirit reminded me of my identity, I am Royalty!

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light (1 Peter 2:9)

Hey girl, even as you are reading this, let me remind you – You are beautiful inside and outside, any shape or color. In the eyes of God – You are beautiful, You are Royalty!

And know that there is no scar so deep that God can’t heal, no mistake so bad that God can’t forgive, no problem so big that God can’t solve. All that God needs is your surrender.

And know that you don’t have to do this alone, we are with you.

Your God is a Shame-Breaker!

Your God is a Shame-Breaker!

Shame Breaker
Struggling with shame? Something you did or some incident involving you that brings lot of shame and condemnation to your mind? Months and years have passed yet you can’t seem to get over it? Here are 5 truths from God’s Word, that we pray, will set you free.

1.  His love> Your mistake

There is no wrong you can ever do that can outmatch the love and grace that Jesus offers to cover it. Nothing can separate you from His love! (Rom 8:39)
 

2.  There is hope

God never condemns, He only convicts. For God did not send his Son into the world to
condemn the world (John 3:17). Condemnation brings disgrace, conviction brings hope.
 

3.  Forgive yourself 

Forgive yourself. Your mistakes don’t define you. If God can forgive you, there is no reason for you to withhold that forgiveness from yourself. (1 John 1:9). Also forgive the person that may have caused you the shame.
 

4.  There is no evidence

When you completely surrender your life to Jesus, He offers you a clean slate. His blood justifies and sanctifies you. Sanctified means you are fully washed His blood. There is no evidence left! You are now hidden in Him

 

5.  Let go of your past

Your past is forgiven. Let go! and let go of the people who remind you of your past. Know that God is greater than your past, no matter how bad or unrepairable it looks.

Your God is a shame breaker!

Only 4 women are mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus and all 4 had a shameful past. Rahab – a sex worker, Tamar – an ‘immoral’ woman, Bathsheba – an adulteress, Ruth- A Moabite. But God used these broken vessels and turned their destinies around. When you surrender your life to Him, He can use your brokenness and make it glorious. You serve a God who is a shame breaker!

But the Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame. (Isaiah 50:7)

A boy who has kept me waiting

A boy who has kept me waiting

Recently we received the below query from a girl. We thought of sharing it as a blogpost for the benefit of other girls who may have similar questions. Hope this helps!

I would like to share a problem /confusion in which I am stuck since the last 4 years but did not get the solution till now. In 2016, I came across a boy through a matrimony site. We liked each other a lot. He and his sister’s family came to my house. However after this, he began making excuses regarding marrying me. This continued for 2 years. Then I thought he doesn’t want to get married to me and I blocked him from everywhere. Again, he came to my place begging me not to leave him. I gave him a chance again, but today it has been 4 years. My situation is the same. What is God’s will, I can’t understand?

Sharing below our response to her situation.

It always excites us to hear someone seek the will of God in their circumstance. We can imagine the amount of unrest this situation must have caused you over the years. And this is definitely not the way God works.

From your description, it is very evident that the boy shows signs of instability.

The word of God says, A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways (Jam 1:8).

If he is unsure of marrying you, pick up the hint and beware. He is clearly taking advantage of you considering the fact that you have got emotionally connected with him. Please download this book on – Breaking Free from unhealthy soul ties, and read: https://soargirls.com/soulties/

And, be encouraged dear friend, until God your father is on the throne your future is not uncertain. Put your trust in God, His choice and His thoughts are always a better option to choose.

10 Differences between a Girl and a Woman

10 Differences between a Girl and a Woman

By Kim D’souza

    By Kim D’souza

Recently I happened to watch a video clip by Pastor Vlad of Hungry Generation Church on the topic 10 differences between a Boy and Man. Here is the link (A must hear for those who consider themselves as men!) I thought it would be nice to have a girl-woman version of it. So here you go:

Here are Ten Differences between a Girl and a Woman

1. A girl craves for attention from people and has an overwhelming concern about her physical appearance. She is under constant pressure to look a certain way and hence makes irrational and extreme choices to keep up to it. A woman knows that she holds the attention of God! She realises that charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but what matters the most is the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 31:30). Her mirror is the Word of God, and she is confident in the fact that she is beautiful the way God created her – Real, unfiltered and ‘unphotoshopped’ (Psalm 139:14).

2. A girl dresses up for the approval of others and in the process ends up in a compromising lifestyle. The way she dresses is to attract people to her. A woman on the other hand dresses up for Jesus, she knows she is the daughter of a king. “So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou Him…The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework…” -Psalm 45:13-14 (KJV). Her clothes carry the finesse of the royalty that runs in her blood – and that attracts the people not to her, but to the King! (That also means she is not casual about her clothing).

Girl – Woman… Who does God say you are?

3. A girl is frivolous in her attitude, takes life as it comes and is easily swayed by situations and the opinions of people around her. Her life revolves around her friends, date nights, social media followers, likes and comments. Her social accounts follow every Tom, Dick and Harry. A woman knows that she has a powerful assignment from God, and every decision she makes in her life is in consciousness of this fact. She doesn’t accept every friend or follow request she receives! She doesn’t linger with time-wasters, and is very careful who she walks with. You see, a girl lives for the moment while a woman is intentional about leaving a legacy behind!

4. A girl’s attitude and lifestyle give access for boys to make approaches, while a woman clothes herself with dignity (Proverbs 31:25). Her walk and her talk are filled with grace, and yet others know where to draw the line. A girl always blames others, while a woman knows that her respect is in her hands!

5. A girl is reckless with her body and uses it provocatively to gain people’s attention, but a woman sets an example before the world in everything – including the way she takes care of her body. She knows that her body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and she leans on God’s wisdom (James 1:5) to steward it. She adapts healthy eating habits, maintains personal hygiene and always smells good!

6. A girl is quick to get into relationships and easily pulls her walls down. She struggles to say no because she doesn’t want to break the heart of the opposite person. A woman knows that she is worth far more than rubies (Proverbs 31:10). She is bold enough to say ‘No’ and preserves her body for the union of marriage. Not breaking God’s heart is more important to her than anybody else’s!

7. A girl often compares herself with others and in the process, she ends up harboring jealousy, pride, offence or low esteem. A woman is secure in the love of God and is thankful to God in everything (1 Thessalonians 5:18). She celebrates when others succeed and lifts others up when they fail.

8. A girl is driven by her temporary craving. She thinks that she is the center point of the entire universe, and lavishly spends on herself and her never-ending shopping list! A woman knows that it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). At the same time, she is a good steward of the money and knows how to plan for her future and her family.

9. A girl is led by her emotions and mood swings. She is very sensitive to what people say and makes her tears a crutch. A woman learns to become sensitive to the Holy Spirit more than people around her. She knows that her tears are precious and makes them her strength by shedding them at the feet of Jesus.

10. A girl uses her tongue to spark fire and cause great damage to herself and others. A woman knows that in quietness and trust is her strength (Isaiah 30:15). Many a time she wins her battles with her conduct, and without words!
