Linking up with other writers today for Five Minute Friday. Find out the skinny on how to join in over at Kate Motaung's blog. And check out what others have written on the topic "build".
Dear You,
Have you been made to feel small this week? Less than? Unimportant. Even invisible?
Sometimes that happens when those around you are wounded themselves and they can't see past the pain, to see you.
This doesn't reflect on you at all, even though that's the ditch you often fall into.
Think again.
It's when these feelings and thoughts of others come at us, and even from our own selves, (the wounded parts), that we must build ourselves up.
Our brains only listen to us.
That's right. Your brain will hear the words of others and try to make you think that you are the smallness that others say.
But, if your brain tells you the truth of who you are, that you are enough, those other voices will be silenced.
Good will win over bad.
Light always puts out the darkness.
It will always start with us, and it should end with us, too.
See, God created you. He loves you. He's always near you.
And, he's given you YOU!!
Cherish the loved one that you are.
Cherish your gifts.
Accept them.
Tell yourself you are enough. Because you are.
People may come and go from your life and they will say what they will. But, you don't have to listen.
Instead, listen to the voice deep inside of you that is in tune with the voice of God.
You, my friend, are enough.
Blessings to you today, friend.

Dear You,
Have you been made to feel small this week? Less than? Unimportant. Even invisible?
Sometimes that happens when those around you are wounded themselves and they can't see past the pain, to see you.
This doesn't reflect on you at all, even though that's the ditch you often fall into.
Time and time again, you think the way they treat you is all about you and your not-good-enoughness.
Think again.
It's when these feelings and thoughts of others come at us, and even from our own selves, (the wounded parts), that we must build ourselves up.
Our highest self must come to the rescue of the hurting, invisible, small version of ourselves and build ourselves up.
Our brains only listen to us.
That's right. Your brain will hear the words of others and try to make you think that you are the smallness that others say.

Thanks for this post, Anne. As a homeschooling mama to three teens, I definitely feel invisible sometimes. And it can eat away at me, if I let doubt creep in about my mothering, etc. Thanks for this encouraging word!
