Sticks and Stones Daniele Luciano Moskal

There is a popular saying (and I do not know which country it originated from), that says, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never harm me!" Well, I?m sorry my friend I beg to differ ? names do harm us, they destroy our confidence, our self-worth, our personality, our character, our wisdom, our integrity. Don't listen to the world's value system; establish your worth according to how God values you. God demonstrated your importance to Him in two special ways. First, He created you in His own image, which basically means you are clever, intelligent, and have great creative abilities. Secondly, had you been the only man, the only woman, the only child (boy or girl), that ever lived on this earth; God still would have sent Jesus Christ, His Son to save us. That makes you child of God someone special ? a diamond ? priceless! These two things should tell us all that we are not nobodies but some bodies ? we are ?BE-ABOUTS? in God's kingdom!
