Some truths don’t need long explanations. They just need to be said clearly, at the right moment, by the right voice. These are the things God would text you on an ordinary day — not to preach, but to gently interrupt the stories your anxious mind keeps telling you about yourself. Read slowly. One message at a time.
God:
you do not need to rehearse abandonment before it happens
you are allowed to enjoy good things while they are here
– Jacqueline Whitney
God:
you are allowed to enjoy good things while they are here
God:
not every shift in someone’s mood is about you
God:
your nervous system is tired
God:
please stop calling yourself “too much” for having emotional needs
God:
peace feels unfamiliar because chaos lived in your body for a long time
God:
but unfamiliar does not mean unsafe
