"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" - Psalms 147:3
-We all have wounds, we all feel lower than low at times, but our God promises if we seek Him and cry out to Him, he will answers us and he will heal us!

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”- Psalm 139:13-14
- We should never feel worthless because God created us he made us for a purpose!

I have been so bummed lately and letting Satan just fill my heart and mind with lies....and it's been really dragging me down and I had to write a letter to myself...and I feel like God really was talking to me in this letter so I thought I would share it.

I know you feel broken, beaten, unloved, and torn down. Once again, you've been abandoned and rejected by another, but don't fret, because not everyone is like that, you have Jesus. He will never leave your side, he makes you beautiful, strong, courageous. I know you are feeling broken down, but don't Satan, is just trying to kick you when your down, and keep you on the ground, tied in chains, but you have the power through Jesus...to tell Satan to leave you alone. Through Jesus, you are wonderful, you mean everything to God, and that's all that should matter. Leave the flesh once and for all, stop listening to Satan's lies, and put your trust in Jesus. He is your Savior, put your faith in Him, love Him with everything you have and He will give you your heart's desires, He will never leave you, He will give you riches beyond your understanding, accept His grace, seek after Him more, and your days will turn brighter.

My God is bigger than anything....and although sometimes life isn't a cake walk, He's there when I need Him, He heals me....and He always sends a rainbow...after my storms.

Thank you so much for sharing this personal letter. The next time I'm feeling bummed, I can pull this out as a reminder of God's love for me.

You know what? That's a really great letter and contains a message which everyone should remember. It may seem like a straightforward message, but it's one we all forget time and time again.

You're completely on the ball though, when you're down, you have to trust in the Lord even when it doesn't seem like the most desirable option at the time.

Anyway, beautiful letter, which I sincerely hope to see more of in the future. :)
