If You Can't Tell It, Let Me Tell It!: "Testimonies and Encouragement for Youth Through Short Stories and Poetry" Devetta Tolbert

This book is dedicated to children all over the world who were taught to be seen and not heard, who have been abused, abandoned and misused. This book is dedicated to all the children who were told they're too light, too dark, not smart enough, no good, too fat, too skinny, and all the other negative things people say that wound, scars and pierced the hearts and souls of the babies God has predestined and preordained. This book is dedicated to children who have been told that they'd never amount to anything in life, belittled, bullied at home and/or school, and yes even at church. This book is dedicated to children all over the world who have been left alone by their parents, left in foster homes, put out when they've made a mistake, socially rejected and considered an outcast because they don't have the name brand clothes, shoes, or live in the nicest neighborhood. This book is dedicated to children whose parents are addicted to alcohol or drugs, they've gotten pregnant before marriage, abandoned, don't have a meal to eat, and/or the comforts of what society calls home. Children all over the world, as you read this book I pray that you find comfort in knowing that you are not alone and that the Lord never leaves nor forsakes you. WHEN YOU When you have gone as far as you can go, Look around, you still can go more! When you have done all that you can, it's at that moment you should take a stand. When you have seen all you care to see, look up and trust in thee. When you have cried your last tear, know that God is somewhere near. When you have gone the last mile of the way, know that God is near to take you with him this day. When you have prayed your last prayer, keep praying and know that God will always be there.
