My Precious Child,

You are so loved. I know the struggles you are going through - the burdens on your shoulders, your worries, and the reasons you cry yourself to sleep at night. I hold those tears and those concerns in My hands. They are Mine, and were never meant to be yours to hold onto. It's time to surrender your fears, your insecurities, your pain, and even your loved ones completely to Me. I want your whole heart and mind and soul to be completely worry-free. I know that is hard, but trust makes you so much stronger. I want your complete trust so you can focus on your faith and be free of the spirit of fear controlling you and every aspect of your life. Don't let your circumstances hold your heart hostage or cause you to lose your confidence in Me. In whom do you trust?

I want to be the King of your heart. I know that guy you love means a lot to you, and I want you to practice that sacrificial love. However, let Me hold your heart, for when it breaks, it's all Mine to heal. Let Me heal you, like I can heal everything else your heart aches for. I am the only one Who knows the man you are going to marry, and the one who is going to treat your heart like the fragile piece of treasure that it is. Take this from the one Who created you: wait for him. Don't settle for anything less than a man who loves you like I do. It's gonna be hard, but remember that I am and always will be the King of your heart.

I know many days you feel like a weary warrior, too tired to fight. I see you when you have exhausted your faith and lost your passion for My people - you are drained. I want to paint an eternal picture for you. Every act of kindness and selfless love you share will water someone's thirsty soul. You are more than a light in the darkness. Your faith will continue to be a raging fire that will burn in the hearts of many generations to come who follow your works on earth. Give yourself time to rest, love, and be loved, so you can continue to be the world-changer that I created you to be. I am so proud of you.

Don't get discouraged, dear child; pain is a part of life. I promise you that I will turn every tear you have ever cried into joy, and I will use your deep pain for a divine purpose. Don't try to hide your hurts from Me, and don't even think about feeling guilty. You are Mine, My beloved; therefore, I created your heart and I am the only one Who can restore it back to wholeness again. Remember that I, too, have felt great pain, rejection, and anger, but we are in this together, and you have Me to hold onto. The sun will shine onto you again, just like you have been shining onto others.

You are strong. You are worthy. You are valuable. You are divine.

You are mine.

With so much love,

Your God, King, and Redeemer

"Depend on the Lord; trust Him, and He will take care of you. Your goodness will shine like the sun, and your fairness like the noonday sun."

- Psalm 37:5-6

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.

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.
