Dear Little Girl waiting for Mama in the washroom,
Would you allow me to tell you that you are beautiful!? I can tell that you don't see it, but it's true. You're shy and that's OK, but already your smile is lovely and your heart shines in your eyes. Never be afraid of that! You aren't ready to say what you're thinking and that's OK, but I pray that at just the right time you will find your voice and speak: speak up; speak out! Speak truth.
I pray you will know that God's image is elegantly engraved all over and in and through you. Yes, you are carrying a bit of extra weight, but that isn't what matters. Don't ever let anyone tell you that's what matters. You are a cherished daughter of the King, so that Princess thing you feel but can't explain? Yeah, that's for real!
I pray you will hold your head high, Darling, for God Almighty has woven you together carefully, brilliantly, and He loves you more than His own life.
For tonight, carry on just as you are; you're great! For the future, I hope you will remember all these things... and I thank you for reminding me of them too.
