hi my friend.. its like im reading my own old story we have the same story that was exactly me the girl who is shy and always have low self esteem and always thinking about my past and thinking about what people may think about me,,,but when i accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior in my life and study all his word,i have found out,, that areas of my life was all lie...i have found the truth in God's word " if you know the truth, the truth will set you free"
,
i know for now its hard for you but step by step if you accept and follow Jesus in your life,, then he will change your life...He will turn your sadness into joy, doubt into faith, despair into hope and you will live victorious life,, we must have a strong foundation, a foundation that no storm will prevail against and a heart that can test its thoughts and attitudes by being confirmed thru the knowledge of the word of God...i pray that the work of enemy in your life will be destroyed because he steal your joy in your life...
remember this verse and meditate on it..
