You are a masterpiece, a one of a kind
When I became an adult, I didn't really understand the depth of Jesus. I knew to pray and to believe but when hard things happen, it seemed like I always wanted to quit. Why did Jesus let this happen or how come just became my questions. As I grew older, I found the importance of being solid in Jesus. I find a true relationship of faith, trust and hope to begin. I became determine to keep my faith alive and just know God is able to handle anything.
Romans 10:17 New International Version (NIV)
17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
Now that you just read about faith, it does come by hearing the word of God (Bible). Scriptures come alive inside of us and we become stronger knowing who we are in God. As our own confidence builds, we can see how we change. Things we know, we just know. Words are powerful and we should say positive things over ourselves.
Proverbs 18:21 New International Version (NIV)
The tongue has the power of life and death,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Your life is important and you make a difference. If you are not feeling that today, take a few minutes to turn those thoughts around and say positive things about yourself. Putting yourself down, is putting the God who created you down. One more time, you are a masterpiece of God and never forget that.
My prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
