Do you feel like an outcast? Do people treat you like trash? Do you feel like you are a doormat that people wipe their feet on? I have news for you. God doesn't look at you and see you as trash. When God looks at you it is with love. He sees you for what you can be. No matter how you feel about yourself, the truth is that God loves you. You can't stop him from loving you and you can't make him love you more. You may say to me, "Yea Hannah, maybe other people, but not me. You don't know all the bad things I have done. My life is trash." Let me tell you the story of the sinful woman.. "One of the Pharisees (religious leaders) invited Jesus to have dinner with him. So he went to the Pharisee's house. He took his place at the table. There was a woman in that town who had lived a sinful life. She learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house. So she came with a special sealed jar of perfume. She stood behind Jesus and cried at his feet. She began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair. She kissed them and poured perfume on them. The Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this. He said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him. He would know what kind of woman she is. She is a sinner." Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you." "Tell me teacher," He said. Jesus said, "Two people owed money to a certain lender. One owed him 500 silver coins. The other owed him 50 silver coins. Neither of them had the money to pay him back. So he let them go without payment. Which one of them will love him more?"Simon answered, "I suppose the one who owed the most money." "You are right," Jesus said......."So I tell you this. Her many sins have been forgiven. She has loved a lot. But the one who has been forgiven little loves little." Luke 7:36-43 and 47. God offers you forgiveness. He can make your life brand new and you can become his princess.
