A kid once called me a "hippo."

I believe that everyone has the power to change someone's life with the love of God.

People are constantly getting their feelings hurt.
People are constantly peer pressured to do things they shouldn't be doing.
People are always singling others out and treating them like worthless beings.

So much cruelty! I'm sure everyone at some point has been told something that affected them in some sort of way leading them to act the way they do.

But let me ask you something.. what if you could break that cycle?
How amazing to think you were a part of showing the world the love God has for you and for everyone else!

I've been watching this girl for the past two weeks.
Miserable and lonely. I'm no one to judge but those are obvious observations.
I grew this desire to approach her, to speak to her, to be her friend.
But I didn't do it.

My sister told me she was mean, but I didn't care.
People are not mean without a cause.

Today a friend told me that she eats lunch by herself. My heart broke into pieces.
How would you feel if no one wanted to be around you? Wouldn't you want a friend to be there for you by your side?
Many of us find ourselves choosing our friends instead of making them.

Hebrews 12:3 says: Think about Jesus' example. He held on while wicked people were doing evil things to him. So do not get tired and stop trying.

& that is exactly what I am going to do.

Not many people intervene in the middle of a fight to stop the madness.
A lot of you see a friend verbally abusing another person and you keep your mouth quiet. Stop hurting yourselves.

I've been put down, growing up being told I was fat. A kid once called me a "hippo" I know what's like to not "fit in."
