But why do we feel so empty and torn that we don’t even understand how we can rise up when we fall?

My friend, it’s not about your strength, but about God’s.

Your failures do not define how God sees or hears you!

You don’t have to prove anything for love. God gives it unconditionally because He loved us first.

Now, when you say it out loud, it really does sound a little strange. If you’re married, you know what it’s like to have your spouse be mad at you and not pay attention to or want to be around you.

Your mistakes and mishaps do not slam the door of God’s heart in your face, as they can with your spouse.

Instead, God leans in a little closer. He says, Come as you are!

The K.I.S.S. ~ God’s grace is sufficient!

So why do you think you have to prove something? Seriously? What is keeping you from understanding the importance of accepting the grace that God gives, and stop pretending you have to do it right?

Perfection does not get you closer to God.

In 2 Corinthians 12:9, we are reminded that His provision exceeds our understanding, and His power is made perfect in our weakness.

By placing our trust in Him, we can find the strength to persevere, knowing that He is our ultimate source of comfort and support. You are not alone. You do not have to live a life in fear, doubt, and shame thinking that God looks at your differently.

He loves you for who you are and who you are becoming. So stop running and closing the door to your heart.

Take a bold step and pause for a moment. Let time be on your side to have chit-chat with God and share with Him what you are concerned about.

Yes, God knows all, but He wants to do life with you. So— let Him and begin again. There are new mercies every morning.

“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
