Believing that there was nothing special about her or remotely interesting. Not close to being pretty
or even kind of cute, more of a very plain Jane kind of girl. Sometimes she felt invisible. Just going
through life day after day. No one even knew she was there.
As she got older, things changed but not for the better. People seem to start noticing her but for all the
wrong reasons. People she thought she could trust let her down big time.
How can they just do what they want and get mad if you don’t want to “play their game?”
At one point in her life, someone was determined to take her innocence, while on the other
hand someone was telling her she wasn’t worth the air she breathe.
People can be so cruel.
Even when someone said they loved her, they had a strange way of showing it.
Well, overall she kept to herself, only spoke when spoken to and always had a smile on
her face. Never let them see the pain, never looked defeated.
Now some years later she looked backed on her life and asked GOD, why? Why did this happen? Why
did he do that to me? Why did she say that about me?
GOD answered:
My child,
don’t spend your time on why this happened or that happened, it happened. Time to stop looking back
and start looking forward. Everything you went through, I was always with you. You were never alone.
I’ve been with you since day one and have never left your side. I knew you before you were born. I love
you unconditionally and that will never change.
You may weep for a night but joy comes in the morning. You are still here, you made it through the storm
as I held you close.
No matter what other people may think or say about you. I am your Father and see you as a star, so step
into your destiny.
Never forget you are magnificently made.
Your season has come and it’s time for you to blossom. Time for you to spread your wings, time to shine
your light. I have work for you to do.
The past is just that, the past and there it should stay. Stop looking back; start living each day as it comes.
Let me order your steps. Change your outlook on life. The best is yet to come.
Today is a new start and your future is blessed.

You had some tiny technical stuff like the weird spacing(Press preview before you hit submit so you can see the way your story will look to the reader and then you may have to go back and manually delete or add the spacing)Little things like missing quotation marks or typos can be picked up by a challenge buddy or a critique group (if you need help in finding one, PM me and I'll try to help)
The things I just mentioned are little things and shouldn't have a huge impact on your story. I really think you did a nice job of showing God's love and that he may very likely be speaking to someone at this minute through your words. Nice job.
God bless~
