For the majority of my life, I believed my worth comma value, and purpose were tied to being a mother, a wife, and an employee, and yes, other people‘s opinions of me. My worth was how someone else’s opinion of me, am my accomplishments were all that mattered.
It was exhausting, and sometimes still is when I forget who’s child I am and who’s opinion of me truly matters.
I was so exhausted that I was about to give up. I was tired of holding everything inside, and relying on what others said to brighten my day. I didn’t see any point to life. I hit rock bottom, but that’s when something amazing happened -God showed up. He as the only One left. And He was enough. And He still is.
God doesn’t value us less because of our mistakes, because of other people’s opinions. His opinion of us doesn’t change because our bodies and minds are tired.
On good days and bad days, God‘s opinion is the only one that matters.
