Celebrated Kenyan gospel artist Wahu Kagwi has disclosed her esteem issues as a teenager for the first time. She thought she would never amount to anything as she felt ugly, unintelligent and unworthy of being loved. The mother of two, through an Instagram post said that if only she could go back in time, her only wish would be to assure her 17 year old self that all would be well.
“As a teenager and into my early twenties, I had terrible self- esteem issues. I felt ugly, unintelligent and unworthy of being loved. I never thought I’d amount to anything much in life. I wish I could go back in time and tell 17 year old Wahu that everything is gonna be more than ok. That God is on her side and she will overcome. I don’t know who needs to hear this but don’t believe the lies the devil will throw your way. Gods got you girl…Gods got you young man. And there’s nothing like being worthy of Gods love.. no.. his love is unconditional.. it knows no religion, no “I’m good or im bad” .. no. “I don’t deserve good things to happen to me “… no. And the bigger your test the bigger your testimony.”
Mrs. Mathenge shared her story in order to encourage young people going through tough times. The ‘Power Power’ hit maker assured young people God has their back and that His love is unconditional.
Wahu Kagwi is the wife of Kenan star David Mathenge, alias Nameless. She got born again in 2017 and stopped releasing secular songs.
