You are not your doubts.
You are not your disappointments.
You are not your downfalls.
You are not your darker days nor longer nights.
You are not your struggles, your mistakes, your illnesses, your trials, nor your past.
You are not the sum of your followers, friends or feats.
You are not the fame that’s often fleeting nor the failures that often teach us lessons.
You ARE the light in your eyes!
You ARE the love in your heart!
You ARE the depth in your soul!
You ARE the joy that cometh in the morning!
You ARE the hope on every horizon!
You ARE the power that God places in each of us!
You ARE the healing and strength you strive for!
You ARE the patience and the potential and the power God places in each of us!
You ARE God's precious love child now and forever more!
I am Karla Davis Mason - a mother, a wife, a sister, a daughter, retired teacher and flight attendant, author, poet, servant for God and a leader and learner for and with my daughters. For a large part of my life these titles were just that - titles that didn’t reflect my level of confidence and/or self-worth. I constantly doubted almost everything about myself. But God, am I learning to think better, heal deeper and rise higher. But for God’s love, grace and mercy and I am a survivor of so many things. I now experience greater peace and hope…I know my worth as God’s unique and valuable daughter…So, during those dimmer moments, I can recite God’s gospel and the soul enriching words of affirmation with greater confidence. I hope and pray they bring light, love and laughter to you as well!
