Does anyone see worth in a little girl who is done trying.

 


Oh but of course I do hun. And I know I would not be alone in that. I know those messages of your value being tied to how useful you were, of how worthless you were, they were repeated over and over. So maybe it'll help to hear the opposite over n over. Happy to keep reminding you any time you need ~ 

 

You are wonderful, whole, and worthy, exactly as you are 💜

I'm over my friends place with her family so that's ok

She's the one with the dog

 

This is from one of my favourite books, the story of a man's journey to become chivalrous, helping young women escape trafficking

 

Priceless by Luke and Joel Smallbone 

 

“She’d been lied to and forced into the same … situation you’re in.”

“Against her will. Men decided she was worth a certain price …”

“I fell in love with that woman. And to me, she is worth more than all the money in the world.”

“You have that same worth inside of you,”

“You’ve been taught to talk and dress”

"and act like you’re cheap"

“But we think … no, Kelli, we believe there’s a God who knows exactly what you’re worth …”

“God knows that you’re priceless,”

@avant-garde yes! I like this. 

 

I think a lot about love, and unconditional love in particular. How we are so often conditioned to believe that love is scarce, that we can only give so much of it away and can't love anyone else if we do. Pffffft. 

But love IS all there is. Because god is all there is, and god is made of love. Every time I try to find a limit to my love I fail. It doesn't exist. 

 

When you can feel this infinity inside, you know your worth, because you are experiencing it within that love. How can anyone think that a price could be put upon a human body, mind, or soul, when it has all the inifinities of god's love inside?
