Dearest loverlies,

"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight."

1 Peter 3:3-4

Beaten…yet
You have made me more than a conqueror.(Rom 8:37).
In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Like a failure….yet
You have made me an overcomer (1 Jn 5:4).
For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith

Fearful….yet
You did not give me a spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and of a sound mind (2 Tim 1:7).
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

Troubled….yet
You are my peace (John 14:27).
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Finals week is bringing me down, but I hope that during this time, God will stay with me and comfort me.
