Gymnastics' newest cover girl Gabby Douglas may be fielding tweets from A-list celebrities ranging from Oprah to Justin Bieber (and the greatest Olympian of all time Michael Phelps, who said he watched her from the pool!), but before the tweets from the "who's who" of Hollywood were tweets of Bible verses and confessions of faith.
Douglas' latest Bible verse tweet occurred on Friday, the day after her historic Olympic win making her the first African-American and person of color to win the women's gymnastics all-around. She tweeted a verse from Romans 12:19: "Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord'" (ESV).

THIS IS A POWERFUL YOUNG WOMAN USING HER VOICE TO HUMBLE HERSELF AND GIVE GLORY TO THE CREATOR. NICELY DONE GABBY!
So she Tweets spiritfilled Words, "And I give all the glory to God. It's kind of a win-win situation. The glory goes up to Him and the blessings fall down on me," she said.
Indeed, the blessings and favor of God!
