Jeremiah 29:11
Amplified Bible (AMP)
11 For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.
Well morning came and I'm still here...
I realized that I was stuck with this name, this body and this life. Ok GOD, I guess it's me and you. Please help me..since YOU won't rescue me from all of this. And at that very moment, GOD gave me a WORD that saved my life. HE SAID, "You are fearfully and wonderfully made!" I, Jamita Renepte Townsend, believed the WORDS OF MY DADDY and began to see myself as HE saw me. At the tender age of 12, I finally saw my worth.
When I realized that it was not in the name I was given, the body I was given nor the life that I was given, but in all reality THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER PERSON ON THE EARTH LIKE ME.....GOD took out the time to make only ONE ME....wow really? I must be special not just to my parents, but to GOD....WOW!!! Knowing this at 12(the most awkward age there is...I think), made my life worth living. Now did the insecurities leave.."No!", but I could deal with life a little better. Thank YOU DADDY! YOU really love me! When I question my self worth, I will remember YOUR words to me from this day forward....oh how my heart filled with joy and the tears fell because my life was worth living..."In The Mist Of It All"!!!
In the days to come that will transition this young girl into a lovely lady, prayer & constant intimacy with THE FATHER will be surely required!! Tests and trials will come to shake the very words that saved her....now the question is will Jamita the lovely lady become bitter from the storms ahead? Hold on to your seats because the journey takes a few turns and curves....will she holdfast to her GOD and HIS WORD or will she turn back to building walls? Hold on before you jump to conclusions, remember just because you may know her or think you're pretty clever, take this journey with an openmind because it may not be as obvious as it seems.
Questions: Has GOD saved your life by speaking just A WORD?
