Description
"I'm strong. I'm capable. He told me so. And He is the One I can trust to speak truth into my life. I don't have to listen to the voices that tell me that I'm never going to make it or amount to anything--because He said they are wrong."
This is kind of a quickie, but I couldn't think of any way to really improve it, so...
ETA 11/20/13:
That's supposed to be Jesus in this pic, I just don't draw Him in the the typical way because the way He's usually portrayed is not very accurate. (As for hair length? No clue. Most people draw Jesus with long hair, but the church I grew up in considered that portrayal borderline blasphemy that because they believed long hair on a man was sinful. While I no longer agree with that opinion, I don't think we really know whether Jesus' hair was long or not--so I made it somewhere inbetween?)
Basic idea here--God doesn't make junk.
This pic was inspired by some things in my own life. I have a pretty low opinion of myself at times. My personal failures get to me and there are things I'm insecure about--but in the end, it's not myself or other people who dictate my worth. That's God's area.
And one night I was listening to praise music while falling asleep and suddenly God is telling me that where I see a weak and irresponsible kid in a young adult's body He sees a strong and capable individual.
So I wanted to draw something to convey that basic idea--because I know I'm far from the only one who struggles with this.

I struggle with this same concept. Often times I feel like I'm not worth anything because I have a tendency to compare myself quantitatively with the people around me. It's a fact that there's nothing I can do that someone else cannot do better, be it write, draw, speak, sing, whatever it is, and that depresses me because I feel I have nothing to prove my worth.

Yeah. 
I do honestly think you are a good writer, seeing as I have read your work before. Certainly better at writing plots than I am. (I'm better at oneshots or nonfiction stuff.)
My main issue is that I'm a young adult, and I feel so inadequate. I'm fresh out of my teen years, all I've ever been is a kid before...y'know? I don't have this "grown up" thing down pat, and it's hard to try to live up to what I feel is expected of me. I know how to be a kid, it's all I've ever been--I don't yet fully know how to be an adult.

If it makes you feel any better, I feel the same way. I'm 26 years old, been living on my own for a year and a half now, yet I'm probably mostly the same as I was when I was 17 because I didn't experience most of the things that people my age get to experience. My parents were married for several years by the time they were my age, whereas I don't feel I'm truly ready for a girlfriend yet.
And thank you for the compliment on my writing skills. That's all I really want...for someone to notice my work and show a sincere appreciation for it.

Thank you for making this. It's a comforting truth amidst all the lies that are constantly banging against my skull all day. God bless you.
