Jesus

Never limit your prayers because you think you’re sinful or undeserving. You’re not praying because of who you are - you’re praying because of who He is.

You can’t stop living because you’ve made a ton of mistakes. You can’t stop others from living because they have. Mercy triumphs over judgment. Love covers a multitude of sins.

Things you don’t need to feel guilty about: eating, how you look, standing up for yourself, relaxing, sleeping in, taking a mental health day, saying “no.”

someone said, “anger is sadness that had nowhere to go for a very long time” and I’ll never forget it.

and trauma is our fears trapped in our fibers, and grief is a love with no vessel to pour into.

“I sat with my anger long enough, until she told me her real name grief.” —C. S. Lewis

Can we please stop associating being a good person with how much you're willing to suffer in silence for other people? You can be a kind person and still say "no, I don't have the time/energy to help you with that." You can be a kind person and still say "this makes me uncomfortable, please stop." You can be a kind person and still say "I disagree and here's why." You can be kind and still say "I'm not okay with this." Being kind is about treating people with kindness and respect, not about being the human equivalent of a doormat!

being a nice person means you must also remember you matter, so be nice to yourself! you got to hold your head up high, love your soul by setting strong boundaries to protect it and be confident in what you stand for. take up space! be unapologetically you. nice means confident, calm and in control, not “yes man” or “doormat” but “i will do as i see fit”. 

Stop what you’re doing and just say thank you to God. For everything he’s done for you. For all the goodness that will follow you the rest of your life because your with him. Thank him for his grace. He’s worthy.
