Wear Your Tiara Proudly: Knowing Your Worth

Months go by, and the old familiar act of grief rings within your hollow chest. There was once a beating heart there, but the pain depleted its energy. Hanging by a thread, it lays within you, waiting to be reawaken.

This heart we speak of is not for others. All that love you have to offer isn’t so you can serve it up on a silver platter and give it to someone with a note that reads, “Please love me.” No, this love is for you. All that love, kindness, tenderness, self-control, perseverance, well-intended words, and steadfastness is for you as well.

I believe wholeheartedly that we cannot truly love others well until we have first KNOWN God and known HIS love intimately. Think of the love a father has for his child. He looks into his son’s eyes and is greatly joyful when he sees a genuine smile on his face. God wants that for you, too. He wants you to feel safe being taken care of and being held by a man who purely has your best interest at heart.

You can go looking for this love outside of yourself in things, people, praise, and success, and though these things are wonderful, they don’t quite satisfy.

Until you learn to love yourself fully and see that you’re worthy just as you are, your chest will ring with grief.

You were always meant to give these things to yourself first. What is a connection if you don’t already have love to give?

I think there is something to be said about restoring that relationship with yourself, too. When your self worth and self respect are high, low boundaries to entry will be denied by how you hold yourself. In other words, when you start walking in your personal power and hold your head high like the precious royal woman that you are, anything less than wonderful will not entice your eyes.

Once you’ve seen God’s love and you’ve experienced loving yourself like Jesus does you KNOW that you ARE sacred, special, and worthy of being pursued the way you outta be.

I don’t know where you are in your journey. Maybe these words are memories of lessons learned, or this is the first time you’ve looked in the mirror and said, “Maybe I’m worthy too”. Whatever it is, you are fully loved, known, chosen, and adored by God.

Darling, it’s about time you started giving these things to yourself as well. You are the key to unlocking your restoration, however, you have to be willing to face yourself and the parts you’ve hidden in the shadows. God sees it all, yet His love remains. Just like the bridegroom with his bride, he accepts every part of her. Learn to accept yourself fully, too.
