Replace lies with truth.

To you,

Has someone told that you were ugly, a failure, you weren't wanted, you were an accident, that you wouldn't add up to anything or that God didn't love you? Maybe someone made you feel that you weren't good enough or something was wrong with you because you look a little different than others, that you had no value, that you were sick because you are gay or some other reason.

Listen...

They were wrong.

They lied.

You don't have to believe those lies any longer.

Throw them away.

Spit them out.

You are an amazing person.

Beautiful.

An incredible gift.

You may not see that now.

Hang on.

You will.

Maybe you don't see any point in pushing through anymore.

Don't let go.

You are too precious.

Don't let them win.

You are too precious.

I know this is tough. It's hard and it hurts like hell.

Keep fighting. Keep pushing through.

You are worth it.

It will be ok. You will find freedom.

You are wonderful.

You are loved.

You are adored.

You are cherished.

Take back those truths that were once stolen from.

Believe them.
Receive them.
Rest in them.

Whether you have been sexually abused, verbally abused, mentally abused, spiritually abused or physically abused, these words were written for you.

I hope you chase after and find healing, rest, freedom and peace.

You are beautiful and you are loved.

There's something very important I want to tell you. Yes-YOU. The one who is reading this.

There is something I want to say because you need to know, so please read this slowly and listen carefully. May it sink deeply in to your heart.

You are a beautiful.

You were created full of exquisite beauty, like a bright flower with extraordinary color, every part of you was made unique. There were no mistakes made when you were created, no accidents or errors were involved.

You are adored.
You are cherished.
You are a favorite.
You are beautiful.
You are loved.
You were wonderfully made.

You are loved with a love that reaches down to the very depths of your inner being to touch your every ache and pain. A love that desires to hold you close and show you how beautiful you are.

You are welcomed to the table and you are accepted. You are to be a part of this dance with the rest of us. You have a part to play in this beautiful song.

Be good to yourself.
Be gentle on yourself.
Be kind to yourself.

Celebrate you this day.

YOU are beautiful and loved.

26 days and a final thought.

I'm getting married. Did I mention that?

Yeah, I think I did. I'm rather giddy about this. I mean really. Who would've thought? Not me. But, I am. I'm getting married.......in 26 days.

There is so much that I want to say, so much I want to share. But not now.

I hope to start writing more again, after the wedding. But for now let me just say this......

Let us love one another with pure hearts, without selfish motives.
Let us build each other up rather than spending so much time tearing each other down. If we have made a wrong, perhaps we could go back a make it right....it could change everything.

We have more power than we realize.
We have the power to hurt. The power to heal.
The power to tear someone down and the power to build someone up.
The power to love and help others to love and the power to hate and help others to hate.

May we be so very careful with the power which has been gifted to us.

Amen.
