To A Dear Friend

To A dear friend,

Do not be sad. I know life has been hard this past few days.. or months.. or years. And I guess, it will only continue to be worse.. if you'll let it. There are things in life that we have done in the past that we are not proud of. Whatever those things may be, we can no longer take them back. What we can do is, to make sure we do not make the same mistakes again. And move forward, by committing that from this day on we are going to live a better life.

Forgive the people that have hurt you.
Forgive Yourself.
You are not anymore the person who they say or think you were. You, are not your past.
You, are the person you choose to be in the present. And you always have the power everyday, to reinvent yourself and become the person that you wish to be.

You have your whole life ahead of you. And I know, that there are so many many many great things that will be laid upon your feet. It is just yours for the taking.

I know I have said this a number of times before, but i will not be tired of reminding you.
I deeply believe in this.
Take hold of God's hand.
Reach in, and do not let go.
For in His mighty gentle hands, I promise you, you will not be harmed.
Hear Him. and Speak to Him.
Surrender to Him all that you keep in your heart.
You are strong, but with Him you will be stronger.
And with Him, surely, hope.. and love.. and serenity.. is over flowing.
with Him, you will find rest.

Do not be discouraged. For you are worth far more than any living thing in this world. No eyes have seen, no ears have heard, no mind has yet conceived, what God has prepared for you.

"I will come to you and fulfill my gracious promise to bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
- Jeremiah 29:10-13

I love you friend.
And I want you to know that you will never be alone anything.
I'll always have your back. And God will always have your hand..

Take very good care of yourself.

Smile always,
Ola
