These are times of trouble.  

Our world is in times of troubles. Our world believes in lies instead of truth. 

Instead of believing that you are beautiful, that you are loved, that you are precious, that you beyond amazing and wonderful - we believe the opposite. We believe the opposite that harms us, we believe the lie.

Haha. Bear with me for just this moment and imagine the lie as a dragon and truth as a Prince who is soon-to-be-king. 

We believe the dragon even though he hurts us, brings us down with tearing fire, slays us and robs; instead of the Prince who has saved us from the dragon and who has done so much more than we think of and know of. 

Instead of believing in the Truth, we believe in the small lie that seems huge to us; yet really, it is just small. Truly just small. 

The lie doesn't matter. The truth does. The truth sets you free, and truth is beautiful. 

You are loved. People care for you and love you, whether you like it or not. 

You are amazing and wonderful and talented and so much, more. You are worth it. 

You are never alone, never truly alone. And there is always hope. 

You are beautiful.

You are perfect. 

And there is still hope; there always has been hope and there always will be hope. 

Believe in what is true.
