A Testimony from the tears of a clown

<< < (7/11) > >>

Deborah-Leigh:
Thank you for bringing this thread forward Dean.

I see that you Rodger have been given a most precious experience of intimacy with Christ. You will certainly be able to relate to Him when you meet Him at His return I believe, because He too was....despised and rejected and forsaken by men, A Man of sorrows and pains, and acquainted with grief and sickness; and like One from Whom men hide their faces He was despised, and we did not appreciate His worth or have any esteem for Him. Isa 53:3

I just want to add that having good looks and attractive status appeal is can also be like a curse not because of what people think they can not get from you but because of their expectations and assumptions! ...like being a bleeding fish in a shark tank! ...

I am glad I am uglier, older and unavailable now! ;D

Peace be to you

Arcturus :)

It was good to read this thread again.  I love it that the newbies go back to see the testimonies.

Rodger, maybe you can catch us up from when you wrote this?  I know you built a house!! :)

skydreamers:
Wow, Rodger, thank you for giving us a glimpse into your life!  I must take the time someday to go back further and read more testimonies since I missed yours and there are likely more treasures like this one to be blessed by.

Did you ever manage to get permission from your wife to share your poem?  I would love to read it.

Arcturus, this is so true as well!!  I have been told all my life that I was beautiful...but inside I never felt like it...it didn't mean anything to me.  I know it sounds corny, but really and truly, it is what's inside that is being fashioned by Christ that is important.  Beauty, ugliness, and everything in between matters not, but God does teach us something through it.  My beauty got me into a lot of trouble, and left me with a lot of emptiness, not really ever knowing what "the boys" really saw in me....I would put on weight and wear frumpy clothes just to get away from it....There are a lot of beautiful people out there that are absolutely miserable!  And the more I seek out Christ, the more I realize how little value the flesh and all its appearances hold.  It is a struggle, because in this world appearances are everything. 

Rodger, you and I are being taught the same lessons, just from a different angle.

Peace and love to you,
Diana
