Bandaids, Fire, Water, Love and Hate

"Bandaids are not just for when your bleading they can be for minor sores and trouble, Sometimes the small things not only hurt a little worse, but double. So take a bandaid and put it on your wound, Jesus, our never ending bandaid will make it better soon."

This poem is very true. Little things can hurt very bad... And it's the little things that tend to hang on, and bother you for a long time.
This world now a days is full of hurt, and hateful people. And because of the hurt and hate, there's a lot of people falling from God, and giving up on life... What we need to show them is that no matter how poorly anyone else may treat them, Jesus is always there, (even when it doesn't seem like it) wanting to take them in his loving arms and never let them go, and protect them. And that we, as Christians, (their siblings in Christ) are not going to reject them, or be cruel to them. We are there to love them, not hate.
We are also there to love the ones that hate us, and others. You can not fight hate with hate, just like you can't fight fire with fire... You only cause more fire. But what happens when you fight fire with water? Water wins. So what happens when you fight hate with love? Love wins.
Love will always win, because it never gives up. In 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 it says; "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres"

Remember, God is all of these things, because God is love.... So let's stop the madness, sadness and hate and start the happiness and love!

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to this blog! Since this is my first post I will keep it relatively short.
As the about me segment in the corner had said, my name is Isabella Esther.... I am a homeschooled teen who created this blog for the glory of God and to talk about our struggles and ect.
I will be posting anything from devotionals that I have written, things that had happened in my day, a Bible verse and what I got from it, little sayings, and different concerns and struggles and my thoughts on them.

God Bless you,
