For the girl who’s dating Trouble:
We allow him to steal the kisses we did not want to give. We allow his hands to wander where we had not intended to go. We allow our hearts to be taken advantage of, we allow his words to cut us and pretend it don’t matter, in hope that our submission will mean that he’ll love us and want us more.
The world will say, “You deserve better.”
But what if you don’t believe you deserve better? Maybe you’re in this rut precisely because you think this is the best you’re ever going to get.
You’re so entangled in your mess that you’re ready to settle for any fragment of love and acceptance that anyone will give—even when you know he’s bad for you.
I just want you to know today, that even if you think you deserve nothing—no, worse than nothing—if you think all you deserve is not even love but just pity, there is Someone who loves you, who doesn’t care one bit what you deserve.
Because He already knows what you deserve. You do not deserve to be loved. You do not deserve to have someone who cares for you. You do not deserve any better.
But He’s not here to passively-aggressively tell you why you’re already so lucky you even have him.
He’s not here to tell you that you already gave your value away when you gave your body away.
“I know everything about you.
Every moment of regret
as you lay there knowing
this was not the romance you had dreamed of.
Every tear you cried to yourself
after you had given all of you away
but still felt so empty inside.
Every time you said,
‘Heck it, I’ve already given him so much,
what does it matter how much more I let him have’.
I know it all.
And I’m still here to love you.
I love you, not because you deserve it,
But because I AM Love.
For every mistake you’ve made that you believe
disqualifies you from believing your life has value,
I have paid for everything when I hung on that cross.
I saw you, and I already died for what you deserve.”
So don’t ask anymore, what you deserve.
Because the One who created you says you are worth more than to settle for the loose affections of a man who won’t treat you right.
You are loved beyond compare, valued beyond all the gold of this world, and you don’t have to settle for what you THINK you deserve. Because what you REALLY ARE and HAVE, is value placed on you by your Maker that no one can rob, no one can steal and no mistake can define.
Girl, don’t accept the love you think you deserve. Boldly demand the love that matches the value He has already given you.
