Shine

You are rare and beautiful like a pearl in the ocean. At first you were a little raw, but your beauty shone through even then.  Now as you are being refined by the trials of life, you shine even brighter.  Your spiritual beauty is even more breathtaking as you grow older.   Flattery? Not from me.  The creator of the universe spoke everything else into being, but when it came time for your  creation,  He knelt in the dirt, cradled the soil of the earth in his hands, formed you, and breathed HIS OWN BREATH into you. He created you in his own image with his own breath so that you would reflect His own light. You will/are changing the world with His light.  Read Genesis.  It's really true.  The creator of the universe loves and adores you.
