Thankful Thursday


I am so very thankful for having God in my life, watching over my every footstep. Wednesday night, the enemy got on my back big time. He started telling me how unworthy I am to be loved, that I am nothing, my own family members want nothing to do with me. I know this is all due to a comment that was left on my blog by anonymous, the words they wrote were very hurtful&hateful. My husband and I have realized that anonymous is one of my family members. How I pray that they would talk to me, and give me a chance. All I want is to be loved, I know that sounds so pathetic. I am giving my blessed heavenly Father all the praise, I want Him to know how very thankful I am for His presence in my life. Without Him, I am nothing but a dirty useless rag. But, with Him, I become worthy, and useful. Thank You dear Father, thank You.

Blog is no more said...

Denise, you have the biggest heart I know, don't let people's comments get you down, let it roll off your back like water on a duck's back. I too pray for this anonymous message sender that their heart would be tender flesh, not a chunk of cold coal! Have a blessed day, luv ya much!

Mary said...

I have a saying..."Don't let jerks steal your joy". I'm so sorry about the negative comment. But you can rise above that. You are a child of God that is precious and greatly loved. God is bigger than that comment. Right? Choose to walk in forgiveness and move on. May God shower you in His love this weekend. Blessings.

Lyndy said...

Oh, Denise, I am so sorry that you had to deal with this. Try to give it over to God and not let others steal your peace and joy. I know this is easier said than done.

Praying for you my friend.

I hear your heart my friend. Sometimes it is that one negative comment that can be used by the enemy when the rest of them are so positive! I will pray for you and that this anonymous comment leaver will have to read through positive commments before they can leave a neg. one and that their heart may begin to be softened. Thanks for sharing.

Christine said...

So sorry for the negative comment Denise. God is so much bigger than our circumstances and trials. Blessings to you today.

Lori said...

I am so sorry, I know how hurtful the comments can be. You are beautiful, your heart shines Jesus through and through.

Be blessed today girl.

First of all, thank you for your encouraging comment on my post for the weight loss thing. You are a great person. I will pray that you will have the strength to continue to praise God and believe His Word, and that you will not allow Satan to discourage you through these hurtful comments. Sincerely, Serving Him

Melissa Lea said...

Thank you for sharing! My prayers are with you!!

Sandy said...

The enemy has been riding my back lately too. I wish it were easier to get rid of him. But for me it's getting harder each day.

I know I have to look to God for shelter.... I failed to mention that He is my biggest rock....

Robin said...

I'm so sorry for the pain you have been feeling. I never can understand how we can be so cruel to each other when we are commanded to love each other with the love of Jesus. Well, you ARE loved and "anonymous" has a big huge problem that needs to get straightened out with Jesus. Hugs to you today my friend.

Lori said...

I'm so thankful to for having God in my life.

Sorry for the negative anonymous comment on your blog.
No one deserves that.
I had that happen to me before too.
Someone left a not so nice comment on my blog.
My husband and I then decided to set my blog up so that anonymous people can't comment.
Thanks for visiting my blog again.

Susanne said...

Bless you Dear One!! I am so sorry to hear about your recent attack..just keep trusting Jesus and remember that "no weapon formed against you will prosper". You are beautiful, and worthy of love. Jesus died for you!!

Anonymous said...

First off, it is doesn't sound pathetic to want to be loved, it sounds healthy. Love is a must have in anyone's life. Secondly, I would like to send a big hug to you across the miles, to let you know that you are loved by your online friends. I am sorry that a family member would send a comment that would upset you so much. Thinking of you...

Deena Peterson said...

Sometimes I think anonymous is synymous with cowardly...

Family can hurt us deeply...but remember, sweetie, that we're part of a bigger and greater family...the Family of God...and we all love ya around here!!

Even though I know (from experience) that it hurts and it hurts deep, frustrates to no end...just let us love on you...and give Jesus that "anonymous", 'cause He knows just who it is and what it'll take to answer...ok?

It's a pleasure to meet you! By the looks of all these wise and gracious comments, I would say you truly ARE loved! Here's hoping your Thursday is filled with enough blessings to blur yesterday's hurts. :-) ThanX for visiting my blog.

Karen said...

Thank you for dropping by my blog and leaving your sweet comments. I, too, am so thankful for having God in my life. I couldn't imagine going through life without Him. I feel like a "kindred spirit" with what you said here. I hear the same thing at times - about not being worthy to be loved or being useful for God(because of my size), etc. God loves us, girl! He gave His one and ONLY Son for us. We are so precious to Him. Don't forget that! By the way I love your blog and will be back :-).

Hoping you have a very blessed day!

In Him~
Karen

May the God of our Savior Lift you up in this trying time, Satan has a way of using people to say mean and hurtful things, just remember that no matter what, keep your head up for you have a Savior that Died JUST FOR YOU!!, Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment.

Changed by His Love said...

I am sorry that you are receiving hurtful comments and by a family member too...I will be praying for you and your family. Keep seeking Christ's face and through His mighty grace and power, He sees you perfectly white as snow.

Here comes Momma Bear.... to rescue her cub....

But the BiG Papa Bear has already done that!!

I'm sorry for your hurt.. no matter what is said, it hurts... but you know... whatever was done or said, is NOT about you.. it's about them... their insecurities.. their hurts. their jealousies....

I will pray..

isn't it great to know we don't have to seek our worth out of others...

I love you
Connie

I just want you to know that you have a family who will be with you for eternity that loves you very much. Sometimes I remind myself of a statement that Beth Moore said, "Sometimes we expect from people what they are incapable of giving."
I pray that when your family really comes into contact with the heart of God--they will then know how to love you.
Until then will we do?

Debbie said...

Oh Denise, You are so LOVED... I know this sounds easier said than done, but please try to focus on this.

You have been such an overcomer! Blessings to you today and much love is being sent!

BTW A steak will be on the grill for you anytime you want to stop by!!

Darlene Schacht said...

Argh!! I'm so sorry Denise. You are such a blessing to us. I don't like bad comments, and think they should be outlawed ;(

Love and hugs, dear one.

Unashamed said...

You ARE loved sweetie. I love you. So very, very much. And HE loves you - so much that He died for you. That is true worth.

Ms. Kathleen said...

Oh how painful and unnecessary! You can block anonymous comments.
I pray the person realizes how immature and hateful they are being and repent to you and moreso to GOd. I pray for their salvation.

You are so very worthy. Isn't it just amazing to know that if you were the only person in the world God would still have sent his son to die just for you!

God Bless ☺

on the Rock said...

Everybody deserves to be loved - and that is totally 100% God's plan:) It's the most hurtful when family members or fellow Christians don't get that. Ouch.

I lift you up in my prayers. Know that you are loved by God and by many sisters in Christ, despite the personal struggles that others have in showing and sharing of themselves with you. They too will need our prayers.

Aunt Angie said...

Thank you for stopping by...I have read your heart touching blog before....you minister to my heart as well as others!

As the "Jesus Loves the Little Children" song says, "They are precious in His sight...Jesus loves the little children of the world"...that includes you and me! We are indeed precious in His sight. You keep doing for God what He requires of you because YOU ARE A BLESSING! Ignore "anonymous" and praise Jesus....someone is reading and whether they want to or not...they are being touched!!!
Love in Christ Jesus!
Angie (glad I stayed up to read the blogs....going to bed now....have a blessed day tomorrow!)
