FEARLESS!

I know you're here.
You keep telling me I cannot make it.
That I am not good enough
That I don't deserve the best
Because of the past pains

Well,
I might not have had a smooth past
And I am certainly sure that the future will not be any easier.
But I know that God has been with me and has been fighting all my battles.
Haha!
That's why you can't imagine that I am here
Still standing strong!
Lol!

You've beaten me senseless with your lies for a long time
You made me believe that I am not worthy.
But today,
Fear!
I want you to know that I will not allow you to ever bring me down again!

I refuse to listen to you again
I choose to keep hoping and believing for the best anyway.
And if that means I live courageously afraid.
I will.
I will face the word boldly even when I am trembling to the core.
I will keep rising
I will keep fighting for my faith
I will live vulnerable again
I will not be afraid! 
I've set myself up for the fight,get in the ring!
Mmh!
I shall live courageous, anyway! 
For I know in Whom I have believed! 
The man Jesus Himself!
