Dear Teenager,
These will seem like the hardest years of your life, and well they might very well be but you will get through them. My heart sends these words to you: You are cherished and not a mistake. Regardless of how you are treated, what lies are told to you or about you. No matter the mistakes you’ve made or how bad your past has been. Your past is not your present. Your past is not your present even though you might believe that it is. Who you were and what you might have done does not necessarily equate to who you are now or who you can be. God has a plan for you. Life can be “bad” but God is ALWAYS good. Every day is a new chance to get life right. God made you for a purpose. You are unique: There is no one on earth that can ever compare to you. Never compare yourself to another person. Never compare your messy insides to other people’s cleaned up outsides. You are loved for you, not who you think you need to be...
