I hope you know this

You are light.

Did you know that? Did you know that you are filled with wonder, that everything you touch will bloom if you gravitate to postivity? If you let your inner glow shine?

God made us so uniquely, so beautifully. We are His creations - each so vastly different. And that's so humbling. To know that there is no one like us, to know that we are special, and yet human and imperfect and so similar to one another in the way we feel, think, breathe.

This has been the most powerful revelation for me - that we are all separate beings, but our hearts beat, our minds think, our souls are connected. We are all fighting through something, all searching for our purpose. We are so different, and yet so much of the same.

Most importantly, we are all filled with light, all created with light, all capable of cultivating that light within us and sharing it with the world.

I hope you know this. I hope you know how cared for and how loved you are, even in your brokenness. I hope you know God sees you, and is longing to fill you when you are emptied.

I hope you let His light brighten yours when you are dimmed - and then I hope you take that, and like a match, set fire to the world around you - bringing hope.

Do not let the world destroy your spirit today. Pray. Reach out to someone. Cry. Break. Heal.

My inbox is open. I'm here for you. And God is, too. Always. He's listening. He sees you; He loves you. Let Him fill you. Let yourself become the light you inherently are.
