You are beautiful. You are smart.
You are funny. You are kind.
You are unique. You are worthy of love and affection.
You are never too much, and you are always enough.
You are precious. You are a diamond, a rose, a pearl,
the most stunning of all God’s creation. You are worth more than you could ever imagine
worth more than the numbers on the scale or the hair product you use
or the shoes you wear more than how many girls wish they were you
or how many guys wish they had you more than the price tags on your clothes
or the percentage at the top of your math test
or even the number of followers you have on Twitter.
Your worth surpasses all earthly things, because in the eyes of the Lord God,
you are loved. And you are worth dying for.
Regardless of who you think you are whether you model in a magazine
or you model pottery with Grandma whether you’re on the “hot list”
or the “not list” whether you’re head cheerleader
or a high school dropout whether you’re Miss Popular
or you’ve never had anyone you could call a friend
whether you love yourself and love your life or you can’t stand to look in the mirror
and you feel as if everything in your life is falling apart
whether you’re such a winner or you feel like the world’s biggest failure. Regardless of who you think you are,
The reality is is that you deserve someone who would give up their life for you
because you are powerful and strong
and capable. Read about the women in the Bible!
Esther, Ruth, Martha, Mary, these women changed the world forever.
And inside of you, each and every one of you is a woman with that same power,
and that same strength, and that same world-changing capability.
And your responsibility is to find that woman and to set that woman free.
This is who you are. And any voices in your mind that try and tell
you differently are from the Enemy,
and the next time you hear them, this is what you say.
You say, “Nuh uh. Not me, Satan! I am a daughter of the living God,
cherished, loved, and adored above all things by the Creator of all things
for the glory of Him who is greater than all things.
I am awesome.” And please. Don’t you forget it.
