When a man hurts you, mentally, physically, or emotionally, he does not deserve you. He is telling you that your beauty was made for him and that he has control over it and you. No man has that power.
Our beauty was made by God to shine in a bleak and broken world. We are perfect through him. Don’t seek out approval when you have already been approved by He who loves everything aboutyou, even that which you consider to be a flaw.
Don’t ever lower your standards for someone who makes you feel less than who you really are. Don’t let the fear of being alone keep you from letting go of someone who you know isn’t right for you. Keep your expectations high.
Don’t search or pursue love. Let it find you. It will be that much more rewarding when it happens. Don’t force yourself to love someone - let it develop at its own rate. Love should wait for its proper time.
