Welcome to your sanctuary, where you can feel at peace. I created this tribe because there are so many people surrounded by negative influences constantly, people who want to wear folks down and don't uplift and build up the good.
There is good in everyone, everyone is capable of something. We are created in the image and likeness of God, and God doesn't make junk. We are carefully formed and knitted together in the wombs of our mothers, created from love, to be loved, and to love.
If you have something which has inspired you, perhaps a poem, a scripture, a song, quotes, etc., please post it here. Perhaps it may bring healing to another broken spirit.
We, as humans, need community. We also need to feel capable, loved and wanted by others. It is a need placed there by God, so we would turn to Him in our struggles and joys. Often, we need a God with skin on, another human to inspire us, to coach us to the next step in our life, someone to remind us who we are and what we can do, rather than what we can't. Most people are more than capable of beating themselves up for what they have done or haven't, very often people don't realize the good they have accomplished.
True humility is realizing ones capabilities as well as limitations, and not allowing the limitations to rule over the spirit. It's a delicate balance. We focus on what we can do, give glory to God for our gifts and talents, and understand our limitations are only because we can't do it all, we're not meant to. Everyone has a place in this world, everyone has a gift they can bring to the table of life. Focus on your gifts and improve upon them. Look deeply into your soul and see your worth; do not hesitate to see the value of others and encourage them in their strengths.

Fri, January 23, 2004 - 1:00 PMThis tribe is fabulous, TWO VERY UPLIFTED THUMBS UP!!!
I know this may sound simple, but my daughter watches Veggie Tales ( a Christian cartoon that uses vegetables, it is the cutest thing!!), anyway one of the morals was God made you special, and if you're special to Him then you're special to me.
I think we should all keep that in mind, when dealing with ourselves and others! -
