And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
He said to me, 'You are so loved, don't be afraid. Let peace wash over you, be strong, seriously, be strong.' When he spoke those words to me, I felt this incredible strength fill me up, and I said, 'Please, keep talking, you just gave me exactly what I needed.'
Sometimes you just need someone to remind you how loved you are and watch your whole energy shift.
