I am His.

I'm someone that is used to being looked down on, thought of as different, often insulted, and not like the others. It's something that I'm plenty used too. But that has taught me a few good lessons.

The first lesson I have learned is that it should not matter what anyone thinks of us. We belong to God. Even though it's hard to forget insults, and other ways that people use to put others down, it's easy to remember that I'm a daugher of God. That is bigger than any negative title that anyone could throw at me. I am His. He created me, and if He did not want me as part of this world, He would not have done that. He would not have done for that anyone who is in the same boat that I am in. I know that I'm a child of a king. Not everyone can say that.

The second lesson I have learned is how to look at people. I don't see people as I once did. Yes, it's easy to judge. And it's a quick thing to do. It's second nature, I think as humans. But it's wrong. If people took more time to realize their worth, their value, and their place in this world according to God, I think this world would be a better place. I see people as good, as having value, and a purpose. I see them as gifts, and as someone that God wanted in this world.

I'm not the type who wants to be defined like most people define me. I want to be defined with God's definition of me. His opinion is all that matters. I am His, and people's opinions can get to me, and affect me. But they don't matter as much as what God thinks of me. I'm not my mistakes. I'm not my faults. I'm not what I do. I'm a daughter of God. I'm something God created, and loves. We all are. We are all His.
