To the Brave Girls,
To the brave girls that do hard things.
The impossible, unimaginable,
unattainable, and completely unrealistic things!
To the brave girls who break
down walls and shatter glass ceilings.
To the brave girls answering
the call that has been placed on their life.
To the brave girls silencing
fear and anxiety.
To the brave girls breaking
out of the boxes that society has thrown them in.
To the brave girls choosing
to not be limited by their talents and skills.
To those brave girls
standing in the gap demanding equality for the marginalized.
To the brave girls taking
second chances
….and to the brave girls
giving them.
To the brave girls doing the
things that “they” said you couldn’t do.
Heck, to the brave girls finally
believing in themselves and kicking fear and failure to the curb!
To the brave girls
chartering new land and unforeseen seasons.
To the brave girls finally
surrendering to God and allowing Him into the darkest, loneliest, deepest parts
of who you are.
To the brave girls with loud
and powerful voices.
To all the brave girls, all over the world. This one’s
for you!
Brave girl, you will do
great things. This is not like any other year. This is the year that you will
rise up to the challenge and take what’s yours.
You will wage war on the things
that once defeated you. And Brave Girl, YOU will win!!
His promises will be
embedded in your heart and his voice will navigate you as you move along the
path of life. The desolate and dark places that once crippled you in fear, will
now have such a heavenly light shining on them, giving you the clarity and
vision you need for your mission.
In the battlefield, when the
enemy looks like a ferocious giant, you’ll remember that He has already gone
before you and you’ve already won. You will walk boldly in the freedom you have
found in Christ. You will pray down walls and your words will break the
shackles off the oppressed. Brave girl, you will no longer be limited by the fear
that once engulfed your life. You won’t be a wimpy, helpless, little, damsel in
distress anymore. No, not you! You will rise up out of the ashes that once
burned you and you my darling will stand tall and look Satan right in his eyes
and send him back to the hell he came from.
Why? Because you are Daddy’s
precious girl and Daddy ain’t no punk.
In a society that is
constantly telling you who to be and how to look, you will not be influenced;
instead, you will be a mighty woman of influence for this
generation of women and little girls. You will choose to dance and even march
to the beat of your own drum and you will be authentic to the woman God has
created you to be. You will not be conformed to this world because you
understand that you are not of this world. You will never fit in because
you come from a heavenly and divine place and you'll be more than ok with that.
They may try but they will
never divest you of your crown and self-worth because the most powerful of them all
has gently placed his banner of love and bravery over your life. You, my dear,
have been crowned with love, honor, and truth and His spirit will
reign in you all the days of your precious life. You will no longer wake up
without purpose, but each day, you will wake up with a burning passion to do great things and you will finally go to the places He has called you to.
You will be a
mighty weapon for His kingdom and this world will never be the same
……. because YOU, Brave Girl, have stepped foot on it.
Brave girl, you will do all
of these things in the mighty name of Jesus.
Xo,
Beauty of Encouragement
