let me just say this really quick. it is okay to create distance between yourself and some people who affect you negatively. i’m not saying cut them out of your life or give up on them. i think we do that too easily. i am saying, though, that sometimes distance is healthier.
Dear Lord,
Today, no matter how uncomfortable I feel right now, remind me that I’m not stuck; nor have I reached my limits. What I’m believing for is not way off in the distance; it’s not years down the road. It’s at hand; it’s close, and I will possess it, in Jesus name. Amen🙏🏾
He isn’t looking for perfect. if that was true, all of us would be without hope. no, Jesus invites your brokenness. the dirtiest parts of you. the things you hide away. He knows it all and still reaches out his hand and says “you. i want you.”
the simple fact is that God loves you. not because he has to, or has some obligation to, but because he wants to. he delights in you. he sees beauty when he looks at you. he sees potential in you. he called you beloved, even when you wanted nothing to do with him.
