You are loved and this pain is being used for His glory and your good.

Dear Troubled Girl,
google

I was doing a quiet time and felt led to write to my dear friends encouraging them in the hard times and to keep turning their eyes on Jesus despite the pain. I am going through similar situations and know they just need that friend who shows they care and genuinely means it! So here's my letter to all girls hurting, mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Hey girl, I just felt led to write you and tell you how much you are loved. Now, I l ow you love to sing... Psalms is a great book of songs written to glorify our God, and one of my personal favorites is Psalm 42! It shows our need for a savior and how the world blames God and doubts him for this crazy and messed up chaos we live in, in this world.

It says "my soul pants for you... My soul thirsts for you... When can I go and meet with you God... My tears have been my food while people say where is your God? ... These things I remember as I pour out my soul, how I used to go to god's house and I'm protected... Why my soul are you down cast. Why disturbed. Put your hope in Him... My soul is downcast within me- I will remember you... Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls- your waves have swept and crashed over me... By day the Lord directs his love at night his song is with me- a prayer to the God of my life... I say to my rock "why have you forgotten me? I go mourning oppressed by the enemy?" My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me saying all day long "where is your God?" Why my soul are you downcast why so disturbed? Put your hope in God for I will praise him, my savior and my God."

I say to you this because in the midst of the craziness God is amazing and sovereign and his song for us is evident. It says in John 17:20-23 Jesus prays for . He prays that we may be in Him in the good and bad and that He is your Rock and was sent for you! God himself prays for us because loves us so much and it's amazing. Girl, you are a light to this world, SHINE! Thank you for being a light of Jesus to me and I pray I am the same to you because you long to be like Jesus and you are a example to me of Him and I long to be that way because of YOU! You are loved sweet girl! Remember that always!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
