I’ve been bullied and scorned, cheated and mistreated.

I still embrace all that I am.

I’ve been told that I’ll never be good enough for some.

I still embrace all that I am.

I’ve been told that I’ll never live up to the standards of others.

I still embrace all that I am.

From the tone of my skin to the shape of my hips and thighs.

I still embrace all that I am.

God didn’t make a mistake when he created me.

A purpose has been granted and will be  fulfilled.

I still embrace all that I am.

Despite what others may think, I still embrace all that I am.

I thank God for all that I am.

When seasons change, it signals the ending of one chapter and the beginning of another.

It means either growing or remaining stagnant.

It means stepping out of your comfort zone

It means being aware of how far you’ve come and how much further you have to go.

It means knowing that God is ever present.

It’s a sign that the life cycle continues as planned.

When seasons change, it means everything evolves just as God intended.

Many times we miss the mark,  with God we still have favor.

We fall short of his glory, yet he picks us up and dusts us off,

We still have favor.

Through adversity.

Through uncertainty.

We have favor.

The devil will place obstacles in our way.

This happens every day.

We still have favor.

Life is what we make it.

God is always present to  help us.

We have favor.

No matter what naysayers say.

We have favor.

Strength is in not how much you can lift or carry.

Strength is in how much you persevere during adversity.

Strength is knowing God is always near.

Knowing that prayer will erase fear.

Strength is the power to forge ahead when uncertain about what’s next.

When each new day emerges, rejoice.

Listen closely to God’s voice.

When sharing precious  moments with others, rejoice.

What may seem complicated is really a choice.

Life is a precious gift not to be taken for granted.

For this, rejoice.

Despite obstacles that may appear, rejoice.

God is has a plan.

Hold on to His unchanging hand.

When moments of uncertainty arrive, rejoice.

Demons will appear just as God is about to elevate us.

In his love and guidance we should trust.

Staying focused is a must.

When looking back over the course of one’s journey, rejoice.

It’s a reflection of how blessings appear when least expected.

Enjoy life. Simply rejoice.

In life, we face many obstacles. We must stay the course.

Barriers to achievement of goals appear everywhere.

Keep moving and striving without a care.

God has a master plan.

Hold tight to His unchanging hand.

Stay the course.

Desires abound within my soul.

Desires for love, faith and happiness.

Desires for a freedom unheard of.

Desires for everything that’s a cut above.

Desires keep me awake.

Desires let me know what’s at stake.

Desires are the voice of God inside me.

The voice that lets me know what will be.

Desires drive me.

Desires inspire me.

Desires will forever be a part of who I am.

Desires make me bold.

Desires are as precious as gold.
