"God is in the business of restoring people, not labeling people."
Darin Hufford
"You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head."
Psalm 3:3
He doesn't want to put us down so that we hang our heads in shame. He wants to lift us up so that we hold our heads high in joy! God is not about bruising and breaking: God is about soothing and healing!
A thought: God always lifts me up.
