God will literally sit you down and break you to humble you, then will isolate you to build you. Then God will give you back everything far beyond what you lost to prove to you God is real and that everything is for a reason. Keep your trust in God.
Normalize not forcing your importance in someone's life. Let people do what they want so you can see what they'd rather do. If someone doesn't see the value in having you by their side, don’t try to convince them.
Today in the morning, I came across this beautiful scripture: 1 Peter 5:7 "Stop stressing yourself out. God knows what you are facing, and He will provide." If God has been good to you, respond with Amen. Please.
"Marry someone you can suffer with."
I used to think this quote was so sad.
Now I understand it. Real love isn't candlelit dinners & flowers all the time. Marriage is built in the ordinary moments & the hard seasons. It's who holds you when you're drowning & builds you a boat.
Sometimes you just have to tell people LOOK i love you & i'll probably always love you, but I'm no longer interested in the level of life you have to offer me & because of that I have to let you go. I'm not even asking you to change, you can keep doing exactly what you want to do & how you want to do it, you just can't do it with me anymore.
Uncommon advice: If you don't know what to pursue in life right now. Pursue yourself. Pursue becoming the healthiest, happiest, most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself. Then the right path will reveal itself.
