Hello you...

Hello you.

It is ok.

It is ok to be your own sort of amazing.

You are your own original.
You don't need to take over the world in one swift turnover.

Master your own world.
You are good enough for your world.

Be brave to face your own day.
Everyone else can be brave for theirs.

You are needed.
You are needed in your own way for being you and no one else can be that.
No one else can be you.

You need yourself.
You need to believe that all wrapped up in the core of your being
is something the world needs.
Your persons need you.

And all of those things in your core - they are good.
Your emotions.
Your creativity.
Your heart.
Your words.
Your ears.
Your songs.
Your touch.
They are all so good!

You don't need to be what everyone wants you to be.
You can just be who you were made to be
and live everyday in fullness because you were meant to.
It is the only you worth being.

Step into the you you were made to be
and don't for a second be ashamed of it.
Don't remember all the bad things people said about you.
Don't remember all the times you felt alone and useless.
Smile at who you are and thank those who appreciate the depth of your you-ness.

Pull those you love a little closer.

And secure yourself within that love in your heart that God is giving.

And smile because He's smiling, too.
