I received this message from a FB friend who brought some students to a camp I spoke at this summer. I loved hearing it and thought you might as well.

Your message on shame completely changed the lives of 2 girls in my youth group. They have both been suicidal for about a year now and its been nearly impossible to show them how much God loves them and how much they mean to everyone around them. No one knew except for a few people because they always seemed so happy. But now they are both doing great and have found help, peace, love, and comfort. The friday night before camp one of the girls was ready to end it but decided to wait until after camp, she said the knife would still be there, so a week away from home and family couldn’t hurt anything. God radically changed her life that week and she said she hasn’t thought about death or suicide or anything along those lines since. She said she can feel God’s arms around her everywhere she goes and can finally see how much He loves her. She knows now that she is good enough and that He loves her more than she can imagine. I just thought you would appreciate that testimony.
