Remember Whose You Are

No matter what life throws at you, nothing will change the fact that you belong to Him.

Remember Whose You Are
JB Brookman

We've all been there. You don't think you're good enough.

You spend hours fixing your hair, putting on makeup, choosing the perfect outfit. You're just trying to impress your crush in hopes that he notices you. You think of the perfect thing to say and you try to talk to him, hoping that he'l want to hang out. And he ignores you.

You do so much for your friends. You drop your plans. You compromise what you want so they'll be happy too. You would drop anything for them. And then there comes a time where you need their help. And there's no one there.

You study nonstop days in advance for your college midterm. You stay in to study instead of hanging out with friends. You pull an all nighter just to make sure that you are fully prepared for the test. And then you fail.

And suddenly you feel like you're not good enough.

The feelings take over you. You try and try to make everyone else happy, that you forget about yourself. You feel defeated. You feel worthless. You feel unloved. It's in these moments that we feel our lowest. Everyone has these low points. But it's important that in these low points to remember whose you are:

You are a child of the God who owns the skies and the seas, but still knows you by name.

You the daughter of the King who is in this world but is not moved by the world.

You belong to the One who is ever present, almighty, and all powerful.

You are a child of God who works everything out for our good and for His glory.

You belong to the Lord of all creation, from the farthest galaxy to the depths of the sea.

You are the daughter of God who wants you, chooses you, and appointed you.

You are His.

No matter what life throws at you, nothing will change the fact that you belong to Him. You are good enough. You are loved. You are worthy. He promises to stay with you, He will protect you, and He loves you more than you could ever imagine. The only One who can truly satisfy your heart is the One who made it. So when you are going through a low point, you can be assured by the fact that you are His.

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.
