to them.<\/p>\n<p>Then when I went to school, and I\u00a0felt rejected by the kids. \u00a0No one would play with me on the playground at recess. \u00a0Oh, how I cried one time! \u00a0Then we moved to the country from the city. \u00a0Away from neighborhood friends that I had made to having no friends. \u00a0(Or so I thought.) \u00a0Here I was able to attend a school where they were nice and friendlier. \u00a0They still teased me and I was not able to accept it at that time, but looking back that was the happiest time of my young life. \u00a0As I became older, I was able to go to church and there I received the good news about God and how He loved me enough to send Jesus to die for me on the Cross for my sins.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus was there for me when I went through some bad times&#8212;circumstances thrust upon me and circumstances of my own creation. \u00a0I can only rely on my heavenly Father for my strength. \u00a0His grace is sufficient for me to get through my issues. As time goes by, little things come to mind that I need to forgive and release their hold on me. That is why my God is greater than all of the hurt, all of the words spoken and not spoken. \u00a0God gives us healing words&#8212;words to flow over our wounds to heal them. \u00a0Praise God!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<span style=\"color: #800080;\">*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2665 \u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u271e\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0 *\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Father, thank You for being <em>greater<\/em> than my issues.
