a lesson for a lady


It took me a while to get to this point, but as I was sharing with a younger sister today, I was reminded again of what God has been telling me all along:

Yes, I am a broken person.
Yes, I can become overly emotional, irrationally jealous, unnecessarily insecure, harsh with my words, confusing in my actions, demanding and needy.

But.
That doesn't mean I'm not capable of being loved.
That doesn't mean I'm not worth it, whatever "it" may be.

And instead of lamenting my flaws and mistakes and then giving more and more of myself to make up for it all, I should be fixing my eyes upon the One who has never failed to love me, who has never given less than what I have given.

He deserves the very best of me because He knows all the worst of me and yet, is humble and patient and compassionate enough to love me regardless. Hallelujah, He is good!
