Inspiration
As a woman, are you told in loud, demanding, silent, or subtle ways that somehow your life matters less, that you are less?
Let go of the lies, precious woman.
You are loved.
You are unique.
You are treasured.
You are resilient.
You are amazing.

Treasures
I thought that my life and existence was hopeless and that the relationship was the only salvageable thing left. In my search for one good and pure thing, I clung onto my boyfriend with all of my strength and sacrificed my dignity to keep him in my life. All of my adoration, love and worship were focused on a person who was too selfish to ever really love me.
In retrospect, I can see that God’s heart was deeply pained by my brokenness. He wanted nothing more than to extend his hand to me and show me my beauty and worth—to help me see the value I never saw in myself.
