Love.

" When i speak at schools and church gatherings for young people, I always tell them that God loves them just as they are. I tell them they are beautiful and that they need to appreciate themselves as much as God does.

Those are simple words. Yet every time I say them, the tears start flowing.
Why is that? It's because young people especially think they must fit in or be cast out. Too often they feel it's necessary to have a certain look, certain clothing, certain physical attributes, certain this or that to be accepted. But that's not true. God accepts us as we are.

You are a beautiful child of God. If the father of us all- the Creator of the universe- loves you, then you must love yourself as well"
