Dear Followers,
Thank you for following my blog :)
You validate me in my musings and need for self confidence.
I would like to reaffirm you
Whatever life is serving you right now
It's just one dish of many
The banquet of life is a full course meal
Some of the dishes are bitter
Some are sweet
I know it can be hard to swallow tough meat
But there's a salad at hand
There's a beverage to wash it down with
There's a dessert waiting at the end
All that imagery was meant to tell you
You can do it :)
You can wake up tomorrow and do it again
I'm not going to give you a false hope and say there will always be some one next to you
Helping you
Cause your friends and family just may fail you
They may not!
And that is the ideal
But what I'm saying is
Even if they do
You have it within you to succeed
God made you in His image
And yes, there is a hole in your whole where He needs to fit in
But He doesn't make broken people
He made the real deal when He made you, oh follower
And He threw away the mold
A perfect collectors item
One of a kind
Chock full of potential and abilities
Just waiting for the chance to show the world how great you can really be
Maybe you don't believe that God made you perfect
Maybe someone in your life has looked on you in contempt and planted the lie in your mind that you are inferior
That you are weak
But that ^ is not true
Not one bit of it is true
God makes treasures, not waste
And you still may not believe me
But try this
Hold up your hand in front of your face and observe
Lines
Fingerprints
Close it
Open it
Fan those phalanges out
That's pretty cool when you think on it.
There are my cliches
I'm not out to convince you that you are a perfect creation, however flawed now by this world
I'm not trying to convince you of anything because
Only you have the power to choose what you believe
No matter how hard the rest of us try to change you
You're still you
And you decide
No, I'm here to remind you
Remind you, perhaps, of a happier time
Remind you that you've seen yourself do some pretty cool things
Remind you to hold onto that hope that you have felt
However few times you've felt it
You've felt it
Even for a second
Return to that moment in your head
And maybe, just maybe
Some of those doubts will dissipate for a moment.
I have no idea if that will work or not
But I do know, from experience, from observation
From being a human myself,
That you, YOU
Are sweet and beautiful
And you don't you forget it
I love you :)
John H.
