Today is a new day. Every morning you wake up is evidence you are destined for something more, whether that morning is a rocky one, an easy one, or just plain unpredictable. Every breath you breathe is a breath of life that someone else wasn't privileged with at that moment. It is proof you are alive for a reason; that even though this whirlpool of miserable happenings seems to befall upon your every move toward the light, this darkness will never be your home forever...unless you let it.

You have been handcrafted for beauty, your life spun in glistening webs of greatness, no matter what Life has offered you in these trying times, you are of royal lineage; an heir of Christ.

You can do nothing to make Him hate you, disown you, or regret creating you.  

Your lips declare your destiny as the words you utter pierce your own heart. I read your lamentations and see behind the black words.

Depression can be conquered and the Light is not far from reach!

The moment the thoughts of negativity plague your mind, you must cast them out, proclaim the promises you know to be true. The promises that the Lord will keep you, never forsake you, and love you forever....

But never let the enemy play with your head, plucking out every planted seed of truth one by one...

You are not a waste, never were...

I smile because I know that one day you will, too...

I smile because I know pain, and I know that you are strong, that God would never allow you to go through anything you couldn't bear...

I smile because....because I see the light at the end of the tunnel....

You are a mighty warrior.

You are stronger than you know.
