I found this piece in 1998-99, shortly after going through my divorce. It has always been a great help for me, I hope you enjoy it. It was written by Bishop T. D. Jakes.
Just Because!
Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize what a gold mine you are, doesn't mean you shine any less.
Just because no one has been smart enough to figure out that you can't be topped, doesn't stop you from being the best,
Just because no one has come along to share your life, doesn't mean that day isn't coming,
Just because no one has made this race worth while, doesn't give you permission to stop running,
Just because no one has realized how much of a person you are, doesn't mean they can affect your femininity or masculinity,
Just because no one has come to take the loneliness away, doesn't mean you have to settle for a lower quality,
Just because no one has shown up who can love you on your level, doesn't mean you have to sink to theirs,
Just because you deserve the very best there is, doesn't mean that life is always fair,
Just because God is still preparing your "One", doesn't mean that you are not ready,
Just because your situation doesn't seem to be progressing right now, doesn't mean you need to change a thing,
Keep shining,
Keep running,
Keep hoping,
Keep praying,
Keep being exactly what you are already....
COMPLETE!
