To Every Hurt, Lost, or Forgotten Soul By Deivone M. Tanksley Sr.

This is for every soul who’s ever felt invisible, unloved, or uncertain. Young or old. Black, white, Latino, Asian, Native. Christian, Muslim, spiritual, or unsure. This is for you.

Before your mother ever carried you in her womb, God carried your purpose in His heart. Call him God. Call Him Allah. Call it Energy. Call it Universal Law. Different names — same truth: He never forgot you.

And no matter what the world said you are or aren’t —You came here with a gift.

Your gift might be the way you love your family with your whole heart. It might be the business idea that’s been tugging at your spirit. You might be a nurturing mother, a powerful father, a quiet healer, a passionate teacher, a community voice, or a servant leader. You might be an artist, a peacemaker, an organizer, or someone who uplifts others just by showing up. Whatever it is — it’s not small. It’s sacred.

But a gift from God doesn’t activate through hustle. It activates through alignment.

To align, you’ve got to sit in stillness. Not with fear — but with faith. Because in that silence, you’ll realize: Your pain wasn’t punishment. It was preparation. Every heartbreak. Every setback. Every tear. It was building you — not breaking you.

And be mindful of how you speak and act toward others…Because what you do to them, you do to yourself. We’re all connected. So lead with your purest heart, not your pride. Lead with love — because love is the language of God.

This life isn’t about fitting into a system. It’s about remembering who you are — not just in this human life, but in the spiritual world before time even started.

And when you remember who you are, you help others remember who they are —without even saying a word.
