  1. Let your hope be alive in God Almighty. Don’t be discouraged by anything. Your enemies and destiny truncator thought they could discourage you but your God proved them wrong. Let the joy of the Lord continually be your strength.My there sister,your face can be smooth again through plastic surgery. God will send help to you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Sky is your limit.

  2. God is all powerful. I love you and wish I can meet you. I had similar life challenges too but the devil was put to shame and he is still ashamed now. Your enemies who want your life truncated will soon come back to bow to you with their faces covered in shame just like devil their father. Keep holding on to God, if you do, I bet your limit will be beyond the sky.
