15. Stop cheapening yourself, you’ve got it going on

A quick encouragement. The Creator of all things, created this world and said, “it is good.” He then created you, with every detail in your being, and delighted in YOU. That every time you do something that only YOU can do, He is DELIGHTED. Culture changes it’s definitions, but the truth remains. You were a thought and Gods mind and He knew we needed you, every bit of you 💛 How beautiful is that?
