Walking down the street this reminder “You Are Loved” came when I needed it the most. I had forgotten my worth. I think we often give into the lie we aren’t lovable and we forget who we are. I know at least for myself I’ve allowed others to determine that worth. In actuality the choice is yours! You determine the love you receive. You know I used to think it was my fault that I was mistreated. But I realize now how someone treats you is really just a reflection of that person NOT of you or your worth.

I get it! It’s definitely not always easy to just walk away or brush things off. I’ve been there. I’ve been so entangled in the toxic spiral that your mind starts to believe the lies that you deserve the abuse. But that’s why it’s so important You remind yourself You Are Loved ❤ Remind yourself what God says about you. I love to read these prayer pages I’ve made with scriptures stating how special and loved I am. I also have pages with affirmations about myself. Tell yourself you’re special! Do whatever works for you and set aside a time to remind yourself of all the gifts and talents God has placed in you!

You need to be the one to choose that you are loved. I know it’s hard when you’ve been hurt. But we all have wounds and all that matters is how you pick yourself up and move on from the hurt. Remember you are loved and dive into the arms of Jesus to remind you. He died on the cross for you! I mean there’s nothing more powerful to the testament of your worth than that. He died for YOU. Just You. Can you imagine giving your life up for someone because you love them so much?

Choose to love yourself that much. Don’t put what someone else says above what God says. Don’t let their actions diminish your worth. When we forget we are loved we move towards any thing that will show us or give us that love. Be strong in yourself! Know what you deserve and don’t settle for less. Set boundaries for yourself and others but also keep them! I heard once that the boundaries you set are teaching others how to love you.

It’s funny because it really clicked in me when I heard that. For so long I spun down this black hole feeling worthless. I continued to give up more and more of myself trying to get love. In actuality I was pushing myself further from it. Not only was I not loving myself but I was showing my ex that I didn’t love or value myself either. Which caused him to use me. I lost myself. And honestly, I thought I’d never recover. But that’s what the enemy wants you to think. He wants you to believe the lies you aren’t loved or that you don’t deserve better. But you deserve the BEST! You are the prize! I just thought that the reminder You are Loved was needed. I want y’all to never forget how special you are! How special God thinks you are ❤

And just in case no one has told you today You Are Loved. You are Beautiful ❤ You are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
