Judge on the Facts: Part 1

I was on Twitter today, looking for something to blog about, and I found this story:

"Full story of what happened with JB: Okay, so I was in line to meet Justin Bieber in NY, of course I got there late, so I was the very last person in line for the meet and greet. I was scared that I wasn't going to be able to meet him, and I waited such a long time for this opportunity. People thought it was weird, that me out of everybody was going to meet him. But hey, I thought the kid was talented, cute, and inspiring. So why not? Why pass the opportunity? When I finally reached the door, I was so thankful that Justin was still here. He smiled at me, and I walked towards him. "Hi I'm Justin!" Before I could say anything, he stopped, and shook my hand. Little did I know, he saw the scars on my arm. I had been battling depression for awhile now, that went along with myself being bulimic. Justin paused, and then looked me in the eyes, and asked me one word. "Why" I explained to him my story, and in a split second after, I was in Justin Bieber's arms, and he wasn't letting go. He then murmured in my ear. "You are beautiful, you are so very beautiful. You shouldn't ever feel the need to do any of this stuff, because you are perfect the way you are. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise, or make you think different.". I started crying, and Justin noticed and kissed my cheek, and held out his pinky. I was confused, and he said "Pinky promise, you will never do that again, for me?" I did. That day will forever be in my heart. So next time you call Justin a jerk, think twice about it, because you don't know him, you know what you see on TV."

This is what makes the Lord happy, being a Samaritan to others. Also, it does make you think twice about what you see on TV, in a magazine, or in the papers. Do you really know the real Justin Bieber? The one who cares for his fans, his family, and other people? Look in his heart, and thats where you will find the real person to judge.

"Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.” John 7:24

Speaking the Truth

Recently, Justin has been accused of many things (all untrue), and I think its sad to see him already breaking. He is a very strong Christian, since his mom had a great influence on him. When he is judged on something, he comes to explain the truth to everyone, in a Christian view. Like in this one tweet he says "but know this...im only judged by one power, and i serve him", it makes me proud to know that God is still working in him.
He also tweeted "as long as my family, friends, and fans r with me u can say whatever. we are all equal in God's eyes & we have a responsibility to eachother". This is the Justin I look up to. A man who isn't afraid to speak the truth! Just remember Justin, hide His word in your heart, and you will find peace, joy, and love. He can do many miracles, if you believe in Him.

"I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive." Romans 16:17-18

My Prayer: 3/15/13

Dear God, I pray today for Justin as he goes on tour, that he will find peace in You. That he will know that You are with him all the times, through the easy and hard moments. Show him that You make the pain go away, when he focuses on You. I pray for Justin's family, that they will stay safe and will look up to You when troubled, hurt, or scared. I pray for Justin's crew, that they will also have peace as they help Justin perform. Thank you for helping Justin get to where he is now, for letting him live his dream for You, sing for You, worship for You. You made everything possible. I pray lastly, for the Beliebers who are struggling with the pain Justin carries with the media, paparazzi, a hate he receives daily. I pray that they would find your love for them, and show them that everythings going to be alright. Thank you Lord for all of our blessings. In your name, Amen.
