Babygirl,
Look at you you thriving.
Look at that smile!
You wear it loud and proud.
You are wise beyond your years.
You are independent before you even knew what that meant.
I wish that lasted longer for you.
Sometimes the adults around you just didn’t know what to do or how to do it.
It shows.
You are hurt and unfortunately that will make you stronger in the worst ways.
Where did that smile go?
The anger and fear you are holding on to right now will stay with you for years to come.
It will shape and bend you in ways you never could imagine.
It will distort your perspective on many things and you will view life differently from here on out.
You will try to cope and nothing will ever change or help.
You will learn to mask it.
You will learn to hide it.
You will never be the same.
Never, never, never be the same.
But wait Babygirl…
Is that a smile I’m starting to see?!
A smile that only He can give?
You will wait many years for that smile to start to show again.
It will take time and hard work.
It will be worth it though I promise.
It’s coming but be patient.
As the clay in the Potters hands can get reshaped so can you.
You will be scared and need to be rescued.
But remember do not be afraid for this too shall pass.
He will always rescue you and be by your side.
In your past, your present, and your future… He is always with you.
You just forgot to call on Him.
Remember that.
Should you need Him… He is there.
You will do great things.
You will touch many people’s lives.
He has called you for greatness.
For victory of His people.
Never forget your name.
Never forget you are a child of the most high God.
Shaped in His image.
He will never leave you or forsake you.
Continue on this path and you will see.
I know you can.
I know you will.
It will never be easy but you are more equipped than you know.
It will all be worth it.
I promise Babygirl it will all be worth it.
