&ldquo;But it&#039;s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it&#039;ll shine the clearer.&quot; ~ J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers<br /> <br /> &quot;For I know the plans I have for you...plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.&quot; ~ Jeremiah 29:11<br /> <br /> &ldquo;Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.&rdquo; ~ Corrie Ten Boom


There will always be someone
Who is better than you.
Prettier.
Smarter.
More talented.
It’s true.
You must stop comparing
Yourself to these others.
You are who you are
And that’s all that matters.
God made you special,
He makes no mistakes.
You’re here for a reason,
So please don’t be fake.
Listen to me,
Listen to this:
You are beautiful,
Wonderful, marvelous,
Special, unique,
And talented too.
And the best thing ever?
GOD LOVES YOU!
