Potato-Head-Jesus-2

More today from my Saturday “Jesus Blog” (or maybe today it’s “Mr. Potato Head Jesus Blog”) – a word from Jesus to you… 🙂

How are you doing? I’ve been thinking about you.

I like the image of all of you as ‘part of a body.’

Each has a function, each needs the others, and none is more important than the rest.

Every part has a key role to play. And if one part becomes sore or injured, the other parts do what they can to support it and help it.

Many of you reading this have been abused, bullied, marginalized, oppressed… take this image to heart. Find strength and encouragement from each other. And let me help you grasp your own wonderful value regardless of what people may say or think about you.

You are my beloved.

The world would be diminished if you were not part of it. You are a blessing.

I love you always.

p.s. Mr. Potato Head Jesus?!? Now that’s funny! 🙂
