You Are Loved

Whoever you are, know that I am proud of you. The year is winding down, but your resurgence is just beginning. You faced many adversities, took risks, stepped out of your comfort zone, and were there for many people that you love. Heartbreak, disappointment, anxiety may have been themes of your previous seasons but know that your future is absolutely assured. Live abundantly today. 

For those in the process of moving on, reflecting on what lies ahead. A part of you may be holding on to what was. Understandably so, but know that you are ok. When you put yourself out there, know that there is always a risk. Do not fret over trying to convince people to your side, but compel them with love and understanding, and trust that the right people will be drawn to you. Your talents, and aspirations are a gift from God and should be considered as such. 

Know that you are extraordinary. Your environment, people, circumstance may have tried you to the point of feeling lesser than your true value. Forbidding you to feel nothing else but ordinary in the face of arduous and agonizing positions. These challenges may have made you feel ordinary when faced with difficulty, but know that you are anything but. You are being called on in your ordinary moments to life changing situations. Listen to your calling, as you are being called to a transformed life. 

It’s getting colder. Don yourself in something comfortable, confident, and warm, allowing it to be the foundation of your emotional strength. Feel yourself taking shape. Being molded into something beautiful, pulled apart and pressed together by your resilience and unwavering courage to clothe yourself in a bold resolution to move forward in the face of challenges. Take yourself out, treat yourself to the wonders around you, savor what the world has to offer. Discover the ways you can give back, allowing yourself to be part of something greater.

You are loved. In the moments you may have felt unknown, undesired, invalidated, otherwise anonymous, know that you are truly cared for and never forsaken. Stay connected to peace, and release yourself from fear of your limitations. Be prepared as you are about to reintroduce yourself.  You are loved in the way that you think, in the ways that you have navigated the unknown, in the ways that you have placed others before yourself. Step into this space knowing you are cherished, capable, and ready to flourish. Embrace this new chapter. Know that you are loved.

With love,
