Dear Little Girl…You Are Allowed to Receive

Dear Little Girl,

Maybe May swept you away too.

The schedules.
The people.
The performances.
The caregiving.
The constant doing.

Maybe you’ve been so busy surviving the season that you forgot you are allowed to be cared for too.

There is a lot on your shoulders right now.
Not in a way that is breaking you…
but in a way that feels heavy.

Your home has felt different lately.
The atmosphere has shifted.
There’s tension you can feel but not always name.

And yet…
you’re still showing up.

With compassion.
With strength.
With boundaries.

That matters more than you realize.

You are doing something you didn’t always know how to do.

You are loving…
Without losing yourself.

You are helping…
Without taking on what isn’t yours.

You are staying open…
Without abandoning your own safety.

That is growth.
That is healing.
That is Me in you.

But there is something deeper stirring in your heart today.
Something quieter…
But just as important.

You’re starting to notice it.

The way you struggle to receive.
The way you shrink back when attention turns toward you.
The way you brush off affirmation…
Even when part of you longs for it.

You wonder,
“Why is this so hard for me?”

Let Me gently show you something.

Receiving is not pride.
And minimizing yourself is not humility.

When you push away affirmation…
When you downplay who you are…
When you refuse to fully receive what is true about you…

You are not being humble.

You are struggling to believe what I already say is true.

You are My creation.
My art.
My intentional design.
Nothing about you was accidental.

Your compassion.
Your strength.
Your creativity.
Your loyalty.
Your fight.
Your softness.

It all came from Me.

So when someone celebrates you…
When someone sees you…
When someone speaks truth about who you are…

They are not inflating you.

They are recognizing something I placed inside you.

And when you deflect it…
When you minimize it…
When you immediately say, “Oh, it’s nothing…”

You dim something I created to shine.

You don’t have to become boastful.
You don’t have to become someone you’re not.
You don’t have to perform or prove anything.

You simply have to receive.

Receive the compliment.
Receive the help.
Receive the love that reaches toward you.
Receive the truth:

You are worthy.

Not because of what you’ve done.
Not because of how far you’ve come.
But because you are Mine.

Even in your hardest seasons…
Even in your mistakes…
Even in the moments you would rather forget…

You were still Mine.
You were still worthy.

So today…
Let this be the beginning.

Not of becoming someone new…
But of fully accepting who you already are.

You can be strong and soft, humble and seen, grounded and celebrated, all at the same time.

And one day…
You won’t shrink when the light finds you.

You’ll stand in it.

Peacefully.
Confidently.
Without apology.

Because you finally understand…

You are not the one being glorified.
I am.
Through you.

Love,
God

Dear Little Girl… You Can Take This One Step at a Time

Dear Little Girl,

It’s been a lot lately, hasn’t it?

So much noise.
So many moving pieces.
So many things you wish you could fix…
but can’t.

And if you’re honest…

You’re tired.

Not just physically tired…

But soul tired.

You’ve been holding tension.
Carrying questions.
Trying to prepare for outcomes you can’t control.

And somewhere in all of that…

You started to wonder:

“Is this just my life now?”

Sweet girl…

Come closer.

You don’t have to figure out the whole story today.

You don’t have to decide how it all ends.
You don’t have to predict what might happen next.
You don’t have to brace for every possible outcome.

You only have to take…

One step.

One breath.
One moment.
One decision at a time.

Because here’s what you’re learning, even if it doesn’t feel like it:

You are not in control of how everything unfolds…

But you are held
As it does.

And I know part of you wants to run.

To escape the tension.
To step outside of it all
Just to breathe again.

But another part of you knows…

That running won’t bring the peace you’re looking for.

Peace isn’t found in escaping your life.

It’s found in how you walk through it.

And right now…

You are walking through something hard.

But you are not unraveling.

Even if it feels like it.

You said it yourself…

Your word this year is whole.

And sometimes becoming whole…

Doesn’t feel like everything coming together.

Sometimes it feels like things falling apart
So you can see clearly what is yours…
And what never was.

So today…

Don’t rush.

Don’t force clarity.

Don’t try to solve tomorrow.

Just come back to this moment.

You are safe right now.
You are supported right now.
You are strong enough for today.

And whatever comes…

You will not walk through it alone.

One step at a time, sweet girl.

That is enough.

Love,
God

Dear Little Girl…You Can Be Kind and Still Have Boundaries

If you feel like you’re carrying everything right now and quietly losing pieces of yourself… this is for you.

Dear Little Girl,

This feels like a lot right now, doesn’t it?

Your home doesn’t feel like your home.
The rhythm is off.
The peace you fought so hard for feels disrupted.

There’s noise.
There’s emotion.
There’s a constant pull on your heart and your energy.

And part of you just wants your life back.

But here you are.

Still showing up.
Still choosing kindness.
Still offering safety to someone who needs it.

That matters.

More than you realize.

But I want you to hear this clearly:

Kindness does not mean access.

Love does not mean absorption.

And compassion does not mean you have to carry what is not yours.

You are learning something sacred right now.

You can sit with someone in their pain…
without stepping into their chaos.

You can listen…
without agreeing.

You can love…
without losing yourself.

I know it frustrates you.

The conversations on repeat.
The cycle you can clearly see…
even when she cannot.

You want to fix it.
You want her to see it.
You want it to stop.

But this is not yours to fix.

And I know something else is stirring in you too.

The stories.

The ones you’ve told yourself your whole life.

That when someone leaves… it must mean something.
That when something feels off… you must adjust yourself to fit.
That if you just try a little harder… you can make things feel safe again.

That little girl was trying to protect you.

She made sense of things the only way she knew how.

And she did a beautiful job.

But you are not her anymore.

You don’t have to create stories to feel safe.

You don’t have to overextend to belong.

You don’t have to shrink or shape-shift or self-medicate
just to feel included.

You are already safe.

You are already worthy.

You are already enough… exactly as you are.

So today…

When the conversation starts again…
you can gently step away.

When the energy feels heavy…
you can protect your space.

When your peace feels disrupted…
you can return to Me.

You don’t have to harden.

You don’t have to shut down.

You just have to stay rooted.

You said it yourself…

“I can offer safety… without absorbing chaos.”

Yes.

That is the way forward.

And one more thing, sweet girl…

It’s okay that this feels lonely sometimes.

You are learning how to live as your true self.

And that can feel unfamiliar at first.

But slowly…

you will find your people.

Your rhythm.

Your peace again.

You are not losing your life.

You are reclaiming it.

Love,
God
