"You is ..."


You is Kind

You is Smart

You is Important

Those beautiful words of truth

flowing from the heart of

Aiblileen,

the nanny for

the little 2 year old Mae Mobley,

right after

Mae's mother

tells her again

how bad she is.

Oh how words sting

those words

that just confirm to you

that

You is not kind

You is not smart

You is not important

as they pierce your heart,

becoming the truth you live by.

I remember the words

and I bet you do too

because we have been told them

not only by words

but through actions

and

I know I have said them or acted them out to others

not knowing

the impact that they would make.

But then the

Help

comes in

to remind the precious little girl

that she is more than enough

and to never forget

that

She is Kind

She is Smart

She is Important

because she

is

Loved.

Don't you wish you had an

Aibileen to tell you those words every time

the

words in your head tell you that you are not good enough?

But we do

because we have

The Help

who is more than a compassionate loving nanny

because our

Help

is our

Creator

who

wrote those words on our heart

the moment He began writing our story.

The day

He knitted me

He knitted you

in our mothers womb

so that we can say

I, ____________, (PUT your name)

praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I, ______________, know that full well. Psalm 139:14

Oh how I have to be reminded that

I am not who others say I am

I am not what I do or don't do

I am not what I feel.

How about you~

Do you believe

these words

that

You is kind

You is smart

You is important

but most importantly~

that you are

LOVED?

As God is showing me a lot these days, especially

to believe and walk in

ALL His Truths,

not just the Truths I feel,

because

Truth is Truth

whether I feel it or not.

But why do I

believe in

and

walk in

what I feel

that isn't truth?

Good question

and

I think

because

His Truths are too amazing to be

true

for me.

It is time

I get over myself.

It is time

to

Receive and Believe

His Love

because

it is about

being an

Aiblileen

and passing on

His Truth

because

He

wrote the words of

Love on my heart

so that I can

Love your neighbor as yourself. Mark 12:31

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Ephesians 4:2

Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, Matthew 5:4

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Romans 12:9

Thank you Aiblileen

for

Living out Love

because you

Recieved and Believed

down to your core,

even though you were treated so poorly,

that

You is kind

You is smart

You is important

because you must have

Received and Believed

the

Great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! I John 3:1

so that you could

pass it on to

to little Mae Mobley

so that she would

have those words in her heart

forever

so that

she

would pass them on...

Put Me in The Story~
