All I can say is "wowww"
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful person you are dear Disney:) God bless you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Madeleine. And you!!
DeleteOh Disney, I needed this. Feeling very unloved today
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you're having one of those days, Krista. Hang in there. :O) I will say a little prayer for you!
DeleteDisney, I am ever encouraged by your heart of encouragement!!! :) Your heart reflects Jesus' so well :)
ReplyDeleteSest compliment ever, Sarah. Thank you so much. :o)
DeleteGod bless you Disney. You are incredible and so bold for Jesus. Amen and amen.
ReplyDeleteThis reminded me of a quote I heard in a movie about Hosea last night- God's love is not dependent on us (what we do, etc). He just loves us. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo true!
DeleteDitto to all of the above comments. You're wonderful. God bless.
ReplyDeleteblessings to you and your dear heart!
ReplyDeleteSomehow you knew. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe Lord knows. :O) My love is nothing compared to His!
DeleteThanks for sharing that. It really hits home. Of course now I'm feeling paranoid. How did you know all that about me? ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Disney, I needed this...
ReplyDeleteYou're so welcome, Julie. And just so you know, you have a special place in my heart. You are always here (or on FB!) to encourage me.
DeleteThanks Disney.......you are so beautiful and insightful. xx
ReplyDeleteThis is a great reminder. I have been feeling SO down on myself lately, and I love this!
ReplyDeleteLindsay, I'm so sorry to hear that you've been down on yourself. Your faithful comments always life me up so much!
DeleteWhat an encouragement! You know what's funny, I look at those nature shots and thank our Creator for their beauty… and He loves us more than those, thinks we're more beautiful than them, cares enough to send His Son to die for us… it is AMAZING, thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what made me think of it. I love nature so much, but it's nothing to a human soul! Sappy, I know, but truthful. :O)
DeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteyou are so welcome :O)
DeleteYOU are beautiful. What an absolutely lovely post. This is all that matters, isn't it? Thanks for sharing it, and for sharing you on this blog. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Natalie. It wouldn't be worth it without you guys!
DeleteI love you too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful reminder of Jesus' love for us. Thank you for sharing. <3
ReplyDeleteWow, powerful, thank you! I'd like to share this with a group of women in Celebrate Recovery. It is for anyone who has or has had hurts, hang-ups or (bad) habits. You know: everybody. With the love of Christ, we can all overcome & be healed.
ReplyDeleteI'd be honored if you did!
DeleteThank you ever so much! I truely hope you feel the love from us, your fans, too!
ReplyDeleteI certainly do. Thank you so much!!
DeleteThank you so much, Disney. Just when I needed some encouragement, and was feeling frustrated at myself for being so imperfect, you bring a smile, a tear, and some absolute truth back to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Haha, well anytime you want to feel less imperfect, come hang out with me. :o)
DeleteI cried. I expected to hate this. But I didn't. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad :O) You're welcome
DeleteYou know what, Disney, we love you too. :)
ReplyDeleteGod's continued blessings on you and your family. Thank You!
ReplyDeleteWhat a powerful post! It was a reminder to me to show Jesus' love through my love - to love regardless of fault - to show unconditional love to others.
ReplyDeleteThank you Disney. Very real and to the point. I am on that list. I am also on the hurt end of this list (recently) and sometimes wish I could shout it to the world. He does love us... more than we can comprehend. Thank you again, Heidi
ReplyDeleteOh Disney. You are an inspiration. Love and hugs to you too!
ReplyDeleteDisney, my dear, you are a gem. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And, I love you, too. (I am going to borrow this and repost it, linking back to you, of course.)
ReplyDeleteI read it and I didn't like it. I read it again. Like being slapped. I read it again. I read the comments. I read it again. It actually made me feel...angry. Why, why, why? Then I realised...
ReplyDeleteI am imperfect. It hit home. Those things on the screen were things in me, my life, my world. Things I hate about myself. Things I try to hide. Yet, I was being offered unconditional love. But I felt undeserving of that love, so I felt angry and confronted.
But we're all imperfect and we are all deserving of love, forgiveness, mercy. I deserve love. I deserve to love and be loved and I am truly blessed because I can say that I do have that in my life.
Thank you for the reminder.
You are so welcome. I didn't really intend to confront, but I can definitely relate. I feel angry when I am confronted, too. Working on that!! :o)
DeleteYou are amazing, Disney. Truly, truly@ I needed a little positive vibe today...thanks! :) YOU ARE AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love you, too Disney. Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteSo simple but so powerful! Thank you Disney:)
ReplyDeleteLove you too.
Thank you. You are beautiful.
