THE HARDEST THING I HAD TO SWALLOW ABOUT LOVE!

♥️🌹♥️

I used to think LOVE meant proving myself. That if I just showed up enough, poured enough, held on tight enough, they would finally see me. They would finally choose me. But let me tell you something, some people don't LOVE you. They LOVE what you do for them. And that truth? It nearly broke me. I sat in bed staring at my phone, waiting for a message that wasn't coming. I excused silence. That should've been a wake-up call. I justified their lack of effort, their absence, their blatant disregard, because I didn't want to admit what was right in front of me. They weren't busy. They weren't emotionally unavailable. They weren't "bad at communication." They just didn't care the way I did. That was the moment I had to ask myself, "Why am I so comfortable being an option when I make them a priority?" Why am I explaining away their absence? Why am I begging for the bare minimum? Why am I shrinking myself just to keep a seat at a table where I was never truly wanted? And the real question, the one that stung the most? "Why was I so scared to let go of people who were so comfortable losing me?" That's when I realized it was never about them. It was about me. My wounds. My fear of abandonment. My need to prove I was worthy of LOVE. But God didn't create me to beg. He didn't call me to chase, to shrink, to over-extend for people who wouldn't cross the street for me. He didn't place me on this earth to accept less than I deserve. So, if you're still waiting on someone to see your worth, I need you to hear this: They see it. They just don't value it. And that, that's not LOVE. So the real question is what are you going to do about it? Give your LOVE to God, and He will show you agape LOVE and marvelous wonders! 🙏🏽💜🙏🏽
