I don't know who needs to hear this, but keep healing, keep choosing yourself. In the midst of all the beautiful chaos around you- of managing your business, self, stresses and maintaining your sanity, don't give up on you.
Understand the power in letting go, and knowing what is meant for you won't miss you and if it does miss you, it wasn't meant for you- you won't have to force it either. It will just flow. 🌊 Step into that flow and release what feels forced and hindering your peace. Don't settle for less than what you deserve and be brave enough to demand those things. It may be lonely at first but I promise it is worth it in the end.
Never let anyone hold you hostage to your past mistakes and weaponize them against you. God's forgiveness will and has freed you. 🤍 honor yourself by keeping your boundaries. you're not protecting yourself from love but FOR love.
Forgive yourself for what you did not know or the things you wished you did differently; the truth is we all have those things but we can't let them consume us. Forgive yourself- forgive yourself, forgive yourself, and when you do never let someone bring you back to that space. A person committed to repeating your past often wants to use that to manipulate you into believing you now don't deserve a brighter future- and often has no plans to positively change the future. Remember, God uses our messes and never throws them back at us 🤍
'We can't let people's fractured thinking affect us to the point where we get our thinking out of alignment with God's truth. He loves us with an intentional and dedicated love that won't quit on us. We can't lose ourselves in the fractured realities of others.'
Never waste your time explaining yourself to someone who's committed to misunderstanding you- take back that energy as an act of self love and preservation. If someone doesn't respect your presence give them your absence.
The hard truth is you can't mold/ force circumstances or people into what you need or want. You just experience them, and get to decide if you want to be apart of what they provide. Sometimes people love and treat you at the capacity they know, which seldom has anything to do with you. Forgive them for not being what you needed. But don't lose yourself trying to get others to be who you need them to be- accept who they are and then release and preserve your energy. Don't abandon yourself for outside validation or acceptance. As long as you accept yourself. Know your worthy. God calls you His, and treat people like they are His as well. Some times the work to be done is in His power not our own. Release.
Friends, nothing and no one other than God defines you, and who you are is held completely in the protection of what God has done for you on the Cross. Pray with me, in saying as I process anything spoken over me by others May the Lord help me untangle any pieces of unforgiveness, bitterness, or resentment that I may need to bring to you. Thank you Lord for making a way for me to live the healthiest life possible so that Your light shines even brighter through me for others to see, in Jesus Name. Amen. Don't stop becoming the person you're destined to be. Keep healing. ✨🕯️
