Know Your Worth
It all starts with you. Live it, breath it, be it.
-Trent Shelton
Last week I saw my favorite motivational speaker, Trent Shelton, in New York.
I love Trent's pieces because he delivers the truth plainly - and sometimes brutally honest. If knowing that already turns you off, then you should look him up immediately, because you most likely need to hear what Trent has to say.
A week later and I'm still impacted by his message.
The theme of Trent's tour was "Know Your Worth", and while I'm sure I'd like to say I know I'm invaluable, I also know I have accepted instances that have made me feel otherwise.
My faith holds such stance in my life, because God shows me the type of love I deserve. A love that is without hesitation, doubt, or fear. A love that is patient, merciful, and graceful.
But God is perfect, and being that I'm not it's easy to forget what love should look and feel like.
I'm talking about love that should be felt in all our relationships - friendly, familial, and romantically.
A compassionate love. An empathetic love. A selfless love. A love without judgement. And probably most importantly, a love with forgiveness.
Luckily, God is also really good at "coincidentally" placing the people we needed the most in our lives to remind us of His love. For me, that's Trent. Trent reminds me to never let me settle for love less than what God provides.
And in case you needed one too, here is a reminder of the love that you deserve.
With Bare Love,
Andreana
