When hurtful words come our way, we must be humble enough to receive any truth from what’s been said but stable enough to let the rest go.
Their unkindness is usually an indication of unresolved pain in their life that probably has very little to do with you.
Quit dwelling on the hurts and start dwelling on what God promised you. God is saying, “Did not I tell you, I will give you beauty for those ashes. Did not I tell you that I will pay you back double for the unfair things that have happened?”
What you’re not willing to walk away from is where you’ll get stuck. If you don’t let go of the wrong people, you’ll never meet the right people. If someone is not adding value to your life, making you better, pushing you into your destiny, you need to make a change.
Feeling the pain is the first step toward healing the pain.
We can numb it, ignore it, or pretend it doesn’t exist, but those options lead to an eventual breakdown, not a breakthrough.
The longer we avoid the feeling, the more we delay our healing.
The problem with getting your validation from people is that people change. Quit relying on people and go to God. You have His approval; you don’t need everyone else’s approval.
When my heart aches over not-yet-answered prayers, I know I need to stop and remember the times God has clearly provided for me in ways that only He could. Ways both big and small.
Looking at God's faithfulness to provide helps me see if He did it before, He will do it again.
It’s hard when a string of good days suddenly gives way to an unexpected emotional crash.
But I’ve discovered those days don’t have to be setbacks. They can be evidence you’re moving through the hardest parts of healing.
Don’t give up. There’s a beautiful remaking in process.
