8、After years of experience, Brenda was faced with a challenge in Sunday School．However, she just didn’t know how to  1  it in a good way．She had never been asked to teach a child quite like Cindy!

       Cindy, you see, was  2  ．She came from a broken home．And although she was really  3 , she thought she was so bad that she could not be successful． 4  , Cindy needed care, and most of all, Cindy needed love! There just had to be a way of  5  her．Day after day, Brenda would pray for Cindy, yet Sunday would come and go and she saw  6  , if any, change．

       Then one day Brenda asked Cindy if she could 7  a role in a Christmas programme the children were  8 to do．Cindy’s answer was, “Don’t you think you can find someone better than me?”

       “Better than you?” came Brenda’s  9  ．“What makes you think there is  10  better than you?”

       “Well, I’ve  11  been asked to do anything before because I’m not good．I won’t get the  part  12  and then everyone will be mad at me for messing up（弄糟）their  13  ,” came Cindy’s answer．

       “Oh, Cindy,” said Brenda in a  14  voice．“I am so  15  that you think that, but you are so wrong．Don’t you realize how  16  you are?”

       “No,”  17  a reply in a low voice because Cindy was now in  18  ．

       “But Cindy, in my eyes, you are special and you can also do something well like others,” Brenda said．

       “Really? Do you think so really? Thank you, Miss Brenda! Nobody has believed in me like you． 19  I’ll have a try,” said Cindy as she   20  a hug from her teacher for the first time!
