You Matter

Hello Ladies!! Let me first put a disclaimer on this post: I believe that we all are to have a good portion of humility and stay away from selfish ambition and vain conceit. Now that this is said, let me tell you this: "You Matter." Lately I have been faced with a lot of young adults with serious issues and my spirit was sad. A gunshot wound. A suicide attempt. And a lot of them. To these individuals I just have one message, "You Matter." They look at me with there big eyes filled with some wonder at my words. I ask myself if they hear that phrase often, if at all. I know I was never really told that phrase. I was shown it by people's actions but never really heard it said to me. Something about hearing it said out loud...

Imagine what the world would look like if people actually lived their lives knowing that their presence, their existence actually mattered in the grand scheme of things. Would they make different choices? Would they carry themselves different? I'm not talking about superficial and materialistic actions and behaviors but the downright meaningful, intentional ways of being in the world. Life and death choices.

There would be less killing-homicide and suicide. More grace given to themselves and others. Love all around would be shown because souls would be hungry to learn what it really means to love.

Tell someone (especially a little kid, a teen, girl, boy), "You Matter."

Blessings,
