Hey there, love.
I know, you're tired. Your mind is in a million different places right now. Just listen to me for a second.
You.
Are.
Worth.
So.
Much.
And I know that you're constantly fighting and it feels like the world is about to crush you and you don't think you'll ever live up to everybody's expectations. And sometimes, you just want to settle. You don't want to keep fighting. It's exhausting. So you want to settle.
Please. Please please please please please please.
Don't.
You are worth so much more. Please, don't settle. Don't settle for that mediocre life that you're just ready to fall into. Don't settle for that person who you know darn well is not good enough for you, but hey, he likes you a lot and he's kind of cute, so why not, right?
Please.
Don't.
I cannot even begin to tell you how difficult it is to watch someone that you love settling for something when you know that they deserve so much better. Allow me to let you in on a little secret.
God has so much better in store for you.
And maybe you can't see that right now. I get it. But He does. He has such an amazing plan for you. I get that the waiting is hard. But it's worth it.
Don't settle now for something mediocre when you could end up with something amazing later.
Trust me.
It's gonna be worth the wait.
Thank you for this, Grace. This is so encouraging.
