Never ignore a person that loves you, cares for you, and misses you. Because one day, you might wake up and realize. You lost the moon while counting the starts

You don't need everybody to cheer you on. The less people you depend on, the greater the anointing.

Me: Hey God.
God: Hello.....
Me: I'm falling apart. Can you put me back together?
God: I would rather not.
Me: Why?
God: Because you aren't a puzzle.
Me: What about all of the pieces of my life that are falling down onto the ground?
God: Let them stay there for a while. They fell off for a reason. Take some time and decide if you need any of those pieces back.
Me: You don't understand! I'm breaking down!
God: No - you don't understand. You are breaking through. What you are feeling are just growing pains. You are shedding the things and the people in your life that are holding you back. You aren't falling apart. You are falling into place. Relax. Take some deep breaths and allow those things you don't need anymore to fall off of you. Quit holding onto the pieces that don't fit you anymore. Let them fall off. Let them go.
Me: Once I start doing that, what will be left of me?
God: Only the very best pieces of you.
Me: I'm scared of changing.
God: I keep telling you - YOU AREN'T CHANGING!! YOU ARE BECOMING!
Me: Becoming who?
God: Becoming who I created you to be! A person of light and love and charity and hope and courage and joy and mercy and grace and compassion. I made you for more than the shallow pieces you have decided to adorn yourself with that you cling to with such greed and fear. Let those things fall off of you. I love you! Don't change! ... Become! Become! Become who I made you to be. I'm going to keep telling you this until you remember it.
Me: There goes another piece.
God: Yep. Let it be.
Me: So ... I'm not broken?
God: Of course Not! - but you are breaking like the dawn. It's a new day. Become!!!

Life is not about perfection, but progression. It's not about being perfect, but becoming better. Who you WERE doesn't have to be who you ARE!

YOU MATTER. Don't let anything or anyone make you feel any different.
Spend this week loving yourself instead of judging yourself. I believe in you!

Sometimes peace comes with a cost. The cost of letting go of bad habits. The cost of some relationships. The cost of a little pain now for greater gain in the future. Peace isn't always free, but it's always worth it.
