Take 4 minutes of your day to hear this. Promise, you won't regret it.
I love that the words of a friend can bring me back to what is real, when my own thoughts are completely lost in a lie. I asked to share this poem by Daje because sometimes I just don't have all the words. I so easily forget the truth on my own. Most times, it's not that I have forgotten what is true and real; I just can't hear it over the words of other people, society, and my own feelings of self-doubt. Well what do you do when you can't hear God over your own thoughts? It's in these moments that I have found encouragement and even tough truths scattered like seeds in the people around me. Even in my stubborn and distracted state, God can refocus my understanding of who I am in his own creative way. [praise hands!]
Do you have words that you hold on to in moments of self-doubt? Please send them my way! This isn't about giving yourself a cheesy pep-talk; this is the difference between leaving room in your thoughts for lies or filling them with truth. It's kind of crucial. I would love to share your stories of success or struggle with finding your worth and identity as a woman. There is no timeline to sending these in. Just drop me a line!
Here is one favorite truth I have pulled from this poem:
"You can take off those shoes now. You don't need anything more than I gave you when you were born."
For whatever reason, it reminds me of Hosea 6:6--
"For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice; the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings."
I don't have to do or be something more than me to get love and acceptance. I must simply love.
Thanks @dajemorris for sharing your heart! You encourage more than you know!
Love,
