When the world around you seems to crumble and fall,

When others ridicule you and try to bring you down,

When no one is on your side or understands you,

When you can’t say what you really want to say because the truth is too much.

Breathe in, breathe out. God only knows the real you.

Yet they will judge, they will criticize, they will slander.

You stay the same. You do what God has called you to do.

Do it with character, strength, persistence.

Live with all of yourself and remind yourself of who you are because they don’t know the real you and they never will.

Understand that no one can know the depths of your heart but God.

Not every battle, you have to fight.

God is fighting for you. So smile child. God is on your side.

No one loves you like God loves you.

Have the mental fortitude to stay grounded.
