INTRODUCTION
The Meaning of STAY
I want to explain the meaning of the title of this book, but first, I want to say that you are all beautifully made.
The title of this book stands for "starting to acquire your true value."
As you journey through life, you learn to develop skills and qualities that help to mold you into the excellent person you are meant to be.
While developing those skills and qualities, you will begin to love yourself more for who you are. You will start to know that you are worth everything God has prepared for you. You will know that you are worth every gift of life God has promised you. If people throw negative energy toward you, you will know that you are worth much more than they might think.
Never let another person’s views make you wonder if you should be here on this earth. Of course you should be here, because God put you here.
Your reason for being—your purpose—will one day be revealed. Do not be discouraged if things look a bit grim right now. If it is the Lord’s will, you have many more years to go.
Live out your dreams. Conquer your fears. Squash all of your doubts, and cast your worries aside. You have enough time on your hands to experience many great things, so sit back and enjoy the ride.
Things will not always go your way, but still, you must live your life to the fullest every day.
I love you, and I have faith in you. Don’t leave
