"You have called me, Lord, not so much of me but in spite of me; not so much to become a somebody, but to be a someone to You and to Your people. Keep me ever in your love."
as you heal and reclaim yourself, certain connections won’t survive your boundaries or growth because they were only given oxygen by low vibrational versions of who you used to be. you don’t have to keep breathing life into your expired self to help other people feel more alive.
Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness. - Saint Mother Teresa
