I write this love letter to you hoping you will know and see how very loved you truly are! This journey called life that you are traveling down, it has been tough, challenging and even brutal at times!           You began life with the wide-eyed innocence of a child, and now, years later, battle wounds and scars showing, you find yourself numb to any kind of emotion except for “blah”! This letter is for you, yes you, the one who feels invisible, the one who feels defeated and the the one who may have forgotten how amazing you really are!                                                                  You have realized, over time, there is much in this journey you can’t control. Rarely do you get the “fairy tale ending” throughout your life. The truth be told, you really do have a reason to feel what you are feeling! It’s all right to have those moments where you grieve when necessary or cry in frustration and even feel anger for a minute. The key is to never “stay there”! For some of you, you may have been staying “there” too long! You have forgotten the you before the crisis began and now you are trying to exist in the residue of survival. For some, it may just be everyday life, times are tough right now, and it takes everything in you to not give up and quit!                                                   The good news is, you do have hope! Not in your own strength, but in a God who made you and loved you enough to give you a very special gift here at Christmas, HIS son Jesus. This time of year is challenging, but maybe just so you can see how much you really need God in your life.                          You are hand-crafted and a one of a kind! You cannot be duplicated and you are here on this earth to contribute something only you can. The love God has for you goes beyond every mistake and every bad choice you ever made. How you feel now and all you experienced thus far has been used to bring you into HIS arms. The bible says NOTHING can seperate us from the love of God……. You are still in this , and HE still loves you and you are not alone! As of right now, you have been told you are loved, and there is a reason and a purpose for you to be here! The next days and weeks of your journey can be brighter and full of hope and expectation. Give God an opportunity to show you how amazing and gifted you
