Stronger

Girl, you are strong.
As you reminisce on the past, don't regret.
It's easy to beat yourself up,
To revisit your failures
Or to listen to what society says you should be.

Instead, tell yourself:

Girl, you are beautiful.
No matter your shape, size, color or complexion,
You were made for an important purpose.
Hold your head up high,
For you are loved by the Almighty God, Himself.

Girl, listen to God,
Not some ticking time clock to schedule your life's actions.
He has the perfect plan for your life.
Rely on the sound of His voice for timing and guidance.
It will lead you down a path of peace and true happiness.

Girl, stand your ground.
Stick up for truth and righteousness;
Let words of wisdom proceed from your mouth,
Never dwell on criticism,
For you are a daughter of the Most High.

Girl, follow your dreams.
God has put a talent and a dream inside each one of us.
Become educated and follow the path He leads you down.
Ignore the pessimistic chatter around you;
Strive to become the best in your field.

Girl, you get stronger each and every day.
Surrounding yourself with other women of strength,
Casting aside self-doubt;
Speaking and meditating on the Truth,
You will not be held back.

Girl, pass this message on to other women.
Encourage them to progress in life,
Inspire them to follow your example.
Become the confident women you were created to be;
Celebrate by leading a life of richness and strength.
