The Little Star That Found Love (Christian theme version with God and Faith)

The Little Star That Found Love (Christian theme version with God and Faith)

Once upon a time, in a vast and twinkling galaxy, there lived a little star named Luna. Luna was not like the other stars in the sky. She felt small and insignificant among the bright, shining stars that surrounded her. Luna's heart was heavy with insecurity, and she often wondered if she truly belonged in the night sky.

Every night, Luna would look down at the beautiful planet Earth and watch as children played and laughed. She wished she could be down there with them, feeling loved and cherished. Luna had never felt loved or appreciated for who she truly was.

One night, Luna noticed a shooting star streak across the sky. The star's name was Stella, and she was different too. Stella had a radiant glow and a warm, welcoming presence that drew Luna towards her.

Luna mustered up the courage to speak to Stella. "Hello, Stella," Luna said timidly, "I'm Luna, and I don't feel like I belong here in the sky. I'm not as bright or as beautiful as the other stars."

Stella smiled kindly and replied, "Dear Luna, you are unique, just like every other star in this galaxy. Your light may be different, but it's equally important. You have a purpose, and your light can bring joy to the world in its own special way."

Luna felt a warmth she had never experienced before, and for the first time, she began to believe in herself. Stella became Luna's friend, and they shone together in the night sky, lighting up the darkness with their combined brilliance.

As Luna and Stella continued to twinkle in the sky, they noticed something magical happening on Earth. Children down below were gazing up at the stars, making wishes upon them. They would say things like, "I wish to be brave," or "I wish to feel loved."

Luna and Stella realized that they could help these children. They listened to their wishes and sent down beams of their special starlight, filling the hearts of the children with warmth and love. The children felt a newfound sense of courage and self-worth.

One night, as Luna and Stella shone brightly, a little boy named Leo looked up at the sky. With tears in his eyes, he whispered, "I wish to feel loved and accepted just the way I am."

Luna and Stella heard Leo's wish and showered him with their gentle light. A feeling of love and acceptance washed over Leo, and he knew deep inside that he was truly loved, just as he was.

Luna remembered something she had heard from the elders in the sky, wise and ancient stars: "Faith is believing in what we cannot see. God created every star with a purpose, and He has a plan for each of us. Just like the stars, each child is uniquely crafted by God's loving hands. You are all part of His grand design, and He loves you dearly."

With this newfound understanding, Luna and Stella began to share not only their light but also their faith. They whispered to the children below, "You are loved by God, just as you are. He made you special, and your light can shine bright because of His love. Have faith in yourself and in God's plan for you."

From that day on, Luna and Stella continued to watch over the children of Earth, reminding them that they were all unique, special, and loved by God. Luna had found her purpose, and Stella had found a friend who accepted her for who she was.

And so, the little star Luna, who once felt insecure and unloved, became a symbol of hope, faith, and love for all the children who looked up at the night sky. She learned that love begins within, and when we believe in ourselves, have faith in God's love for us, and trust in His plan, we can light up the world with our unique and beautiful qualities.

The end.


This version of the story incorporates the concept of faith more explicitly, highlighting the belief in oneself and in God's love and plan. It aims to provide comfort and reassurance to young children, reminding them that they are loved, valued, and capable of shining brightly in their own way, with faith guiding them.

Pledge of allegiance for all those who believe in God

I pledge allegiance to my Lord, the omniscient, the omnipotent, the originator and ruler of all the universe and in his son, Jesus Christ, a living sacrifice for the redemption of sin of all mankind who is the absolute truth life and light of the universe and through his mercy and grace I have been given Eternal life. I do not pledge allegiance to man, but to my father in heaven, through him all things were made and just by believing in the name of his son I have been given through his grace and mercy eternal life.

Lets read again, very slowly and let the words speak to you.....

I pledge allegiance to my Lord, the omniscient, the omnipotent, the originator and ruler of all the universe and in his son, Jesus Christ, a living sacrifice for the redemption of sin of all mankind who is the absolute truth life and light of the universe and through his mercy and grace I have been given Eternal life. I do not pledge allegiance to man, but to my father in heaven, through him all things were made and just by believing in the name of his son I have been given through his grace and mercy eternal life.


Omniscient - Having complete or unlimited knowledge, awareness, or understanding; perceiving all things.
Omnipotent - Almighty or infinite in power.  Having very great or unlimited authority or power.
Originator - To take its origin or rise; begin; start; arise.
 
I wrote this Pledge many years ago while journaling one day.  If you would like to continue reading, this is what I wrote after I wrote my Pledge of allegiance.
 
Freely I have been given freely I choose to give. Several pages ago I said if you have to pay for it, whatever it is, it is not from God. What I was referring to had to do with the church and the ministry of the church. The Lord freely gave us his son to die on the cross for the redemption of our sins, he freely gave us mercy, grace and forgiveness, what the Lord gives us is free. What man gives us cost or has a price tag associated with it, the last thing our Lord gave us was free will. The freedom to choose, to discern for our self whom we will serve, our Lord or man. There is hope from a tyrannical government, the hope is in our Lord. We do have to live in this world, we must obey the rules and regulations set forth by man. Matthew 22:21 – give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s. We are God’s children, he created us and made us in his likeness, his spirit dwells within us, we need to give our self over to God. We need to pay Caesar what is Caesar’s – money and give God what is God’s, our self. We live in this world, however, we are not of this world. Have faith my friend, don’t lose hope, help lives within you. Kneel down and pray to the Lord accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and he will send the comforter. The light of life lies within you for the asking, you and only you are in control over your own immortal and eternal destiny. Living with unbelievers in an unjust society is a test of faith. Heavenly Father knows that sin abounds in our society, he asks us to have faith and believe in him, do not doubt, do not worry, do not be critical or negative, don’t complain, stay positive, everything will work out in the end. Our reward waits for us in heaven. With unbelief all around us, we must remain strong and not get distracted or caught up in the evils of the world. We must remain focused with an eye single to his glory. 1 Corinthians 10:31 – So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it for the glory of God. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ, may all the honor and glory be yours. Thank you my Heavenly Father for the guidance and counsel of the Holy Spirit. I choose to have faith and believe in the name of your son Lord Jesus. Watch over my family today, bring to them peace, happiness, joy, and the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Blessed be your name, now and forever.
 
Faith – Hebrews 11:1 – Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Obedience – Hebrews 13:17 – Obey your leaders and submit to their authority.
Security – Hebrews 13:6 – Never will I forsake you, never will I leave you.
Same – Hebrews 13:8 – Jesus is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Content – Hebrews 13:5 – Keep your lives free of money and be content with what you have.
Discipline – Hebrews 12:7 – Endure hardships as a discipline. God is treating you as sons, what son is not disciplined by his father who loves him.
Faith – Hebrews 11:6 – Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
 
I was speaking earlier with someone why there was so much darkness and evil on earth and it dawned on me that Heavenly Father cast Satan from heaven to earth. This is where Satan and his cast of evil demons make their home. Revelations 12:7-9 – And there was a war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down, that ancient serpent called the devil or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to earth, and his angels with him. No wonder Satan has such a foothold on earth, this is where our Lord cast him. Now why did Heavenly Father put us on this earth where he cast the prince of darkness. What was he thinking about, why would you send your chosen people into the lions den. Revelations 12:12 – therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you. He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short. Now our Heavenly Father cast the devil to earth infuriating him and all he can think about is sending us down to live with him. Couldn’t he have made another earth? Why the need to send us down, a sheep among wolves. Especially in the old testament where they did not have the atoning sacrifice of Jesus. 1 John 3:8 – He who is sinful is of the devil because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. 1 Peter 5:8 – Be self controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for something to devour. James 4:7, 8 – Submit yourself, then to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Go near to God and he will come near to you. 2 Timothy 2:26 – Escape the trap of the devil who will take you captive to do his will. Luke 8:11, 12 – The seed is God’s word. Those along the path are the ones who hear, then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts so that they may not believe and be saved. From the Parable of the Sower. The Lord cast the devil to earth, placed us here and then said don’t be tempted by him, watch out for him, don’t let him get a foothold. Only the Lord knows why he didn’t make another earth to put his chosen on. Suffice it to say, this is the stronghold of the devil. You hear people comment, this is hell on earth, well it is true. James 1:2 – trials are a test of faith which develops perseverance. James 1:5 – If anyone lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously without finding fault, and it will be given to him. James 1:19 – Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. James 1:22 – Do not merely listen to the words and so deceive yourself. Do what it says. James 2:10 – for whoever. James 2:17 – In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action is dead. James 2:22 – Our faith is made complete by what we do. James 2:24 – A person is justified by what he does, not by faith alone. James 2:20 – As the body without the spirit is dead, so is faith without deeds deed. James 4:2, 3 – You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with the wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. Guilt – the fact of being responsible for wrongdoing or a crime. A feeling of responsibility for having done something wrong.
 
Another day has come and gone and with each passing day I grow closer to the Lord. I believe I have a gift for healing, I honestly believe, have faith and don’t doubt my ability to lay my hands upon another and by the grace of my Lord Jesus be an instrument for healing according to his will. Thank you Lord for this beautiful day. Thank you for your many blessings. Amen.

When did you give up caring about how you look, feel and your life?


When did you give up caring? 

When did you stop caring about how you look
When did you stop caring about how you felt?
When did you stop caring about your life? 

When did you lose hope?
When did you stop loving yourself?
Why do you have so little faith in yourself?
What happens to your self-esteem?
When did you stop believing in yourself? 

What is your story?

Who told you, you couldn't?
Couldn't what?  

What is your story? 

Why did you give yourself permission to stop caring about how you looked, felt or about your life?
When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you like the person you see? 

Do you drink too much, smoke too much, use illegal drugs, abuse prescription drugs?  Do you work too much? Have you strayed from your relationship, have you been faithful

Have you stopped exercising? Told yourself, you just don't matter anymore or what's the use?
What's the use of exercising, quitting smoking, using alcohol or drugs to medicate your pain? 

Are you in a relationship that is dead and unfulfilled? 

Why have you quit?  Quit believing in yourself? Quit dreaming? Quit setting goals? Quit on life? 

What's your story? 

I was recently on a cruise and noticed that there were quite a few people who ate too much, drank too much and gambled too much.  I saw a lot of unhappy faces.  People seemed to be moving about, but not living the life they once dreamed of.
I asked myself, why did they quit?  Why did you quit?  When did they stop caring how they looked? When did they give themselves permission to gain an extra 25, 50, 100, 150 pounds, to smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a day, to drink 10, 15 or 20 drinks in a day or to gamble at the casino with what little money they had left?
What possessed them to keep going?  To keep not caring?  To inflict upon themselves behaviors that they know in their heart is not healthy? 

Why?  When? And for what reason? 

Who told you that it was OK to keep drinking to excess or to take drugs or to smoke or to overeat?  Did you tell yourself or did someone tell you it was OK?  Who told you that you were not good enough?  That you didn't measure up? That it was OK to abuse and pollute your body and your mind with harmful products?

It doesn't have to be that way!!!  

Isn't it about time you started caring again?  About how you look?  Feel? Act? 

Isn't it about time you quit drinking too much, gambling too much, eating too much, and using drugs?  We could put a whole host of other behaviors such as shopping too much, soliciting sexual gratification that are unhealthy and any other narcissistic behavior that harms your relationships with others. 

Why? 

Why did you stop caring?
When did you stop caring about you? 

It is not too late.  It is never too late to change.  It is never too late to start dreaming again. The world is your oyster. 

Have faith in yourself, trust and believe in yourself, know that you are valuable, that you have worth and begin again to love yourself again, just the way you are today and then dream of who you would like to become. 

I would love to hear your story. 

I would love to hear why you stopped caring about yourself.
I would love to hear what you are going to do to change. 

If you need help, I would love to help you.  I can help you.  I can help you dream again.  I can help you change to become the person you once believed in.   

Please feel free to contact me at billhytek@hotmail.com.   

Isn't it time?
Let's begin this journey together, I will help you.
