Becoming Bold……

With the new year upon us, I figured this was the perfect first blog post! I originally wrote it for my daughter as she is now school aged, but I believe that we can all apply it to ourselves in one way or another!

You were born to be different, you were born to be kind. You were born to stand out, and give the world a piece of your mind. God didn’t created you to become hardened by a world so cruel, He lovingly formed you to be the shining jewel.

The world needs more grace, more love, and compassion. That’s why you, my darling, were born to take action. If others hurt you, be quick to forgive. This really speaks loudly about the way you live.

Please use that smile that brightens my world, to give a sweet moment to the lonely little girl. You take that imagination that makes stories come to life, and use it to help others ease their strife.

Within those precious hands that my heart calls home, is the ability to pick up others when they can’t stand on their own. Sweetheart use those feet that run here and there with joy, to play with the rejected, but still so lovely little boy.

I love learning from you, you are so incredibly smart! Please use your thoughts and ideas to tell others about God’s heart. You have beautiful big eyes, they observe and take in all. Use them to see the good in people, even if and when they fall.

You are so much more than just an audacious child, but I know that God gave you a spirit that longs to be wild. You love others with abandon, you enjoy making friends, and my wonderful tender-hearted child, I pray you never let that end.

The world may not understand, they may try to change you, but I promise, that God gave you what it takes to break through. You are courageous, and strong, you were made to be different! You’re loyal, you’re observant, and you are out right magnificent!

Look around and see, you weren’t made to follow behind. Use what He gave you, stay true to your design. Little love if ever you feel lost, overwhelmed, or even broken down, turn to Jesus and pray. He understands, for even He cried out as well.

With your eyes fixed on Him, you will have all the strength you need. He loves you more than life, He will help you succeed. There are going to be times it may be hard to not become bitter, but you were made to change the world! You are no quitter!

Darling listen, read the bible, take it in and soak it up! Tuck its words away in your heart, let it fill your cup! These words are all true, it is our instruction book. The very way to life is given to us, we must be careful to not overlook!

God designed your heart so pure and so tender, never lose that, for it is your splendor. You have so much to give, and you glow when it is dark. Take that out into the world, you are so much more than just a spark!

With you I am blessed beyond measure and I cannot wait to see, just how profound your impact on this world will be! Last but not least, sweet girl, remember this. When you meet others who live differently then you, love them, be kind, it is really that simple. You want Jesus to shine through!

Thank you for taking a moment to read! Please let me know what you think!
