"The moment she embraced herself, she knew how loved she is."
She was shattered before she knew how much every piece of her matters.
She was left afraid in the dark before she knew how much courage it took her to ignite the light coming from inside her.
She was wrapped in her own thorns before she remembered how much beauty fills the rose that she is.
She was healing during the times her pain had taken its toll to the point of losing herself.
She was learning during the times she felt like everything she was investing is bound to leave her empty.
She was growing during the times she made the bravest choice of taking steps backward — away from the wrong battles.
She realized how strong she is after her weak side has made her end up in a situation to discern what her true self could’ve done better.
She discovered how strong her heart has become after she refused to look back in order to find her way forward.
She acknowledged how strongly built her walls have gone after she only let in her people — those who asked for God’s guidance in letting her guard down.
She is now claiming herself.
She needs to own the princess that she is before she is surrendered by her King.
She needs to own the princess that she is before she is surrendered by her King.
She must relentlessly own herself as she then gets claimed by the one whose prayers are being granted through her — to fulfill His promises.
She is whole on her own.
She is empowered by her King who is the source of her grace.
She is empowered by her King who is the source of her grace.
She is learning a lot from the process of being whole by relying on the providence that comes from above in order to make it on her own.
She sets boundaries to protect her heart.
Her heart is guarded as she keeps in mind that she is a rose loved by The King who wore her thorns.
Her heart is guarded as she keeps in mind that she is a rose loved by The King who wore her thorns.
She is protecting her sense of self-worth as she establishes respect towards her way of setting boundaries.
She is becoming more independent.
She is beginning to be proud of the person she is becoming in His Name by giving herself space and time to live up to these realizations…
Maturity requires self-accountability.
She has no one to blame for every burden that became heavier for her to carry when she has not yet learned to fight for herself.

Respect isn't begged for, it's reinforced.
She begs no respect from the people to whom she now has the ability to reinforce how she deserves to be treated.

Damage only happens in vulnerability's presence.
She has no excuses to justify her damage because she is no longer vulnerable to what is keeping her away from being real.
She has no excuses to justify her damage because she is no longer vulnerable to what is keeping her away from being real.
She may have done some mess, but that's how she stays real.
She doesn't lie about her pace of growth nor does she pretend that she is always capable of protecting her own sanity.
