You are the best!

Tonight I felt like sharing a little bit from the bible. I am a christian, and I believe in God. Whether you do or don't believe the things I do is your choice. So, read on if you would like to know what I have to say. It's just a few verses from Psalms. If you don't believe in the bible, read what I say after the verses, everyone can use a little bit of talking up :).

I was going through one of my old journals last night and was reading stuff about my goals and dreams when I had just finished my first year of high school. It was just before starting year 9 that I was writing how I want to grow up to be an author. Some people think there is no point in becoming an author.
"You can't make a living out of that" I remember one person saying but the truth is, to me, it's not about the money I will get. One of the main reasons I wanted to become an author was because whenever I read a book I would always get some kind of joy,hapiness or whatever from reading. I want to provide/ be a part of the same kind of joy that I get out of reading, with the people that will choose to read my work. I know that publishing is difficult but I have faith and a God that will provide.

Psalm 37 1:1-2
Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong;
For like grass the will soon wither, like greeen plants they will soon die away.

So, for anyone out there whether you are a christian or not, just remember that the problems you are facing now won't always be there. Don't limit or belittle yourself because of others that put you down. You are worthy of the best in life so don't let anyone put you down. Don't let them have that power over you, take charge of your own life and strive for the best. People will put you down, you can't escape that. But, you can be a part of the solution by ignoring their ways and the harm they direct towards you. Just remember that they won't always be there and let's face it, there will be a day when they die. And they won't be able to harm you again. People can get jealous very easily and jealousy can lead to destruction of others if it is not dealt with. People who are jealous will do all they can to cut you down so they can walk all over you and stand taller. Hey, at least they feel better. But, No. Don't let people walk all over you because you won't stand up for yourself. Every human being has a right to excel -- don't let them take that right because they were too jealous to be happy for you.

Psalm 37 1:3-4
Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Pretty straight forward. God can't protect you if you aren't dwelling in his presence. By allowing God to enter your life you are giving him the key to be able to watch over and look after you. Bad things can still happen, God isn't a safety net for all the wrongs that can happen in the world. But, He will help you through tough times. Believe and trust, have faith. Enjoy the blessings, your gifts and your talents. Everyone is unique and beautiful. Embrace your talents and shine to all who you come in contact with.
The desires of your heart won't be overlooked.
