In the classic movie – Love Story
one of the worst lines ever uttered
and proclaimed to be romantic:
~ Love means never having to say you’re sorry ~
excuse me, huh?
in what world
is that ok?
If you love me
and you hurt me
You need to be sorry
You need to mean it
That’s what love is
Care for me
Respect me
and my feelings
Think before you
speak
And definitely,
most assuredly, most respectfully, most humbly, most lovingly
say when you are sorry.

oh, ha ha ha ha
you are a jerk
I must hate you now
oh, ha ha ha ha
I am so naive
and I seem so strong
oh, ha ha ha ha
you act a fool
and I’m suddenly weak
oh, ha ha ha ha
I forgive your silly ways
how did I think you were a jerk?
ooh, la la
we are suddenly in love
and the world is perfect.
Relationships take real work, not an easy-bake oven.

Love is patient
Love is kind
Love is hopeful
Do I love myself?
Am I patient when I make mistakes?
Am I kind when I don’t meet my expectations?
Am I hopeful about all I will achieve?
Why does it seem easier to do this for someone else than myself?
Is it easier to love others than ourselves?

You cannot have me at hello.
I have more value
I deserve more respect
I respect myself
far too much
To allow your cute face and sweet talk
to make me forget my worth.
You cannot have me at hello.

Today kicks off our special February focus!
Remember today, we don’t need a person to “complete” me –
no matter what the romantic comedies say.
You know,
that’s actually a lot of pressure to put on someone else
and realistically,
no one would be able to do it
you + me ≠ a complete me
you + me = a complete us
whatever that may be

Why do I
sometimes feel
shame
or
embarrassment
for the things
that make me
unique?
for the things
that make me
complex?
God loves
those things
about me
even when they aren’t pretty

Hey self,
Gimme a break.
This is who I am today
and that’s ok
I don’t have to be “better”
I don’t have to have things “handled”
I don’t have to have it all “figured”
I don’t have to have it all in “control”
This is me
This is today
and
This is ok

Dear God, help me enjoy today without anticipating difficulty
without worrying that something will go wrong
that expectations will not be met
that something will happen
that something, anything, everything…
Help me stop.
Help me rest in you
Help me give it all over to you
and I will enjoy this day you have made

When I try to be everything for everyone else, I lose me
and that’s who they wanted in the first place
Know My Worth
