Words of Encouragement

You are valued, loved, and have a purpose, even if you do not feel it. Even if there is no one on the planet who loves you, the creator of the Universe, God, loves you and has a plan and purpose for you. Sometimes in life we get to a point where we feel so alone and hurt and the only thing we can do is rest in God’s presence and in knowing we are loved by Him. I hope all of you out there know, we love you and think you are important too.
