Hey Special One,
As you read this, I want to you know that you are beautiful,
you are special, and most importantly, you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
And for anyone to tell you otherwise, is not telling you the truth, nor is what
they say that’s not who you really are the truth. So, let’s shine the light
over that lie.
I see the best in you and most importantly, the God that I
serve sees the best in you. I don’t know who discounted you or wrote you off
during your childhood. Was it your mother, your father, your siblings, your
aunts, your uncles, your grandparents, or was it other extended family members
to include friends of family? I also don’t know who is currently discounting
your true identity or worth right now, is it the man or woman that’s in your
life? Is it a co-worker, or a stranger that really doesn’t know who you really
are? It may be time to cut those ties, because your associates will either add
value to you or devalue you. And I’ll say this, those who discount you, are
actually devaluing you.
Whoever told you that you need to be the talk of the town
and that you need to just be popular – just to get attention – is lying to you.
I know your childhood wasn’t picture perfect, and neither was mine. May I
encourage you right now and tell you that you are not your past. You are not
what your abuser said that you are. You can be free, healed and whole. I know
you have dreams, aspirations and goals. May I say that you may not be mentally
ready for some of them just yet? There is a growing process that has to take
place, and it starts with being comfortable in your own skin. So, you must ask
yourself, do you love you? When you look in the mirror when you’re by yourself,
what do you see? Do you see your past, your pain, your shortcomings, or
possibly your mistakes? If you do, do you believe that you can learn from them,
grow from them so you can eventually declare what was mentioned in the first
paragraph that truly is your identity? No man, woman or other human being will
ever love you unconditionally than God. And let me say that you don’t have to
compete with others for your attention; you are beautiful just as you are. I
see the pain when I look at you, and I know that you are doing all you can to
masquerade it, but there are consequences if you’re not careful.
Whoever told you that you need to be a certain shape or size
just so you can be attractive, is lying to you. Whoever told you that love has
to hurt is lying to you. I know you are strong, and I don’t deny it, and when I
look at you, I see the pain and the tears that you are holding on to because of
the situations you’ve put yourself in. I know you are fearful of the next step
in your life. Just know that fear paralyzes, and faith sets you free. You are
more than what people say they are and you don’t have to live up to other people’s
expectations. That old saying, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words
will never hurt me,” is a lie from the pit of hell! Words have the power to hurt
or heal. And you are not the negative words that clearly devalue who you really
are. The people who talk down to you are people that are trying to build
themselves up at your expense. Let them go, as they will do what they can to
destroy you with their words. May I encourage you right now and tell you that
you are not your past. You are not what your abuser said that you are. I know
you are carrying a weight (not physical weight, I’m talking about weight of
fears, hurt, shame, etc.), which is actually a burden, but our human bodies
aren’t built to carry that weight. You can be free, healed and whole. I know
you have dreams, aspirations and goals. Write down who you really want to be
and desire to have in your life. So, you must ask yourself, do you love you?
When you look in the mirror when you’re by yourself, what do you see? Do you
see your past, your pain, your shortcomings, or possibly your mistakes? If you
do, do you believe that you can learn from them, grow from them so you can
eventually declare what was mentioned in the first paragraph that truly is your
identity? No man, woman or other human being will ever love you unconditionally
than God. And let me say that you don’t have to compete with others for your attention;
you are beautiful just as you are. Once you divorce yourself from the opinions
of others, you enter another dimension.
Just know my special one, you are uniquely gifted, and there
is no one like you. Despite what you’re going through physically, mentally,
emotionally, financially, and spiritually, God loves you and He is not
punishing you. He has nothing but love for you, and I do too. May His peace
surpass all of your understanding, and know that you can be free, healed and
whole from everything that you’ve been through in your life. He can give you
beauty for the ashes that you’ve accumulated in your life and He can restore
your broken self-worth/self-identity if you will let Him.
Blessings,
The Mayne Man
