![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When I begin to see teenagers the way I believe God sees them, I'm overwhelmed with love and compassion and am able to kiss them with the kiss of encouragement. It didn't happen all at once, but daily I began asking the Lord to help me see past their warts and ugliness (the rebellion, the mediocrity, the pride, the averageness) and view them through His eyes. Since the day I discovered that fictitious story, my attitude towards teenagers has been that of a frog-kisser. In a destiny defying moment, she cradled him in her hands and kissed him! The spell of the wicked witch was broken, the warts were gone, and the ugly little frog was no longer an ugly frog but a handsome prince. One day a beautiful princess walked by the pond where he lived and found him strangely alluring. The little frog knew he was a handsome prince on the inside, but day after day he wondered if anyone, let alone a princess, could look past his ugly warts and break the spell. The terrible spell is cast as she pronounces to the kingdom, the prince would remain an ugly frog unless he receives a kiss from a beautiful princess. A handsome prince falls victim to a jealous ugly witch. ![]()
