We've just passed February --- the “love” month. But are you feeling like something is missing? Did you feel pressured to make February 14th a perfect day? Do you even have a significant other that you can call your Valentine? And what even is agape love?
This is what happens when we place our values in others and what society says we should expect. Social media is notorious for giving us a false sense of our identity when compared to others. We often feel that our life does not measure up.
Sadly, exterior influences and things will never sustain or fulfill us. If we place our worth or faith in people, we will always be disappointed. We need to place our faith in God, who will never disappoint us and already knows we are “enough”. He loves us despite our flaws. Do not let someone’s opinion of you diminish your self-worth. God thinks you are perfect!
To be sure, this time of year, given our lack of sunlight, does have real effects on our mood. We cannot hesitate to reach out to professionals if the sadness becomes profound. Moreover, if you choose a Christian counselor, you will be reminded of God’s perfect love.
You are enough! You are beautiful! You are loved!
