Once there was a girl who thought little of herself. She felt unloved and unwanted. She thought her life meant nothing and there was no purpose to her living.
But once she discovered Jesus and his love for her, she felt like a new person.
Once she learnt that Jesus loved her more than anything else, she felt alive and accepted. This allowed her to discover his Word and learned to listen to him speak to her and his loving words made her feel happy and encouraged.
Once she accepted Jesus in her life, she had purpose and value. Once she had purpose and value, she had life again. A life lived for Jesus and not for anyone else.
Once she understood and accepted that, she had peace.
Once she decided to spread the good news that Jesus is Lord and love of her life and he loves her and that is all that mattered.
Once she was happy in Jesus, she was happy for life.
