A Daughter of the Almighty

For you my dear friends, the sky is the limit. 

You can be excellent in every way.

 Respect yourself. 

Do not feel sorry for yourself. 

Do not dwell on unkind things others may say about you.

 Particularly, pay no attention to what some boy might say to demean you.

 He is no better than you. 

In fact, he has already belittled himself by his actions.

The Lord did not send you here to fail.

 He did not give you life to waste it.

 He bestowed upon you the gift of mortality, that you might gain experience, positive, wonderful, purposeful experience that will lead to life eternal.
