Have you ever made yourself small for the sake of others?
Small waist?
Small dreams?
Quiet voice?
Have you adjusted your seated position to keep your thighs from spreading fat?
Adjusted your life trajectory to stay on course with a companion?
The guessing game of perceived approval is a waste of breath and life.
While you are focused on how they see you
God already sees you redeemed, prepared, brave, whole.
His Kingdom is for this broken old world, but He needs you to bring it.
Everyone gets to play.
But don’t miss your chance.
These days should be stewarded carefully.
Love loudly.
Don’t shrink, shine.
