That if somebody left you, discarded you, just left you in the dust and just did not treat you right, that is not a reflection of you. That's not your fault.
It has nothing to do with your value.
Speaker 3
It's not you. It truly is them.
If somebody doesn't treat you right, it's not your fault.
Speaker 3 So, if we can leave you with anything today, it's the lesson that do not let other people's actions determine your worth. It has nothing to do with you.
Speaker 3 Feel sorry for them and know that they they don't know how to clearly, they don't know how to even process emotion. They don't know how to do the right thing.
Speaker 3
They don't know how to go about things the right way. And that's not your fault.
And it has nothing to do with your worth. It does not determine your value.
Like, we're so, I tell that to Ari.
Speaker 3
She has to tell that to me. It's not our fault when other people don't treat us right.
And it's not your fault. And guess what? We've said it before.
We'll say it again.
Speaker 3
If somebody left, if they left, they were never your person to begin with. And you have to say thank you, Jesus, because he has one person for you.
And it's not the person who left you in the cold.
Speaker 3
That's not them. So you say thank you, Jesus, for getting the wrong person out of my life.
And I'm ready, Lord, for you to bring the right person in your time.
Speaker 4
And I honestly, you know, even you just saying that, like, I needed to hear that again. Like, you guys don't understand.
You saying that, like, just helped me. Like, I need to hear these things still.
Speaker 4
That's why, like, everyone's like, well, why aren't I healed? But this has taking too long. I know, guys.
I know. And it's okay.
And we have to give ourselves grace.
Speaker 4 Heartbreak and pain and healing takes time.
Speaker 4 It takes time. And, but who you're going to be at the end of this heartbreak, it's you're not even going to recognize yourself.
Speaker 4 And that's the most unbelievable thing about pain and hardships and heartbreaks. It's that through the pain, God builds you into this person that at the end of it, you're truly unrecognizable.
Speaker 4 Though I'm still healing, I can't believe
Speaker 4 like the woman that
Speaker 4 he
Speaker 4 raised me up and molded me into.
Speaker 4
I can't believe it. It's unbelievable.
And I wouldn't have been able to be this woman if I didn't go through the suffering, if I didn't go through the heartbreak.
Speaker 4 Even though it was the worst thing that I've ever endured,
Speaker 4 it was the greatest blessing of my life. It was the only thing that that's crazy.
Speaker 3 Sorry, can we just stay there really quick? Yeah. And you mean that, right? The worst thing that ever happened to you is the best thing that ever happened to you.
Speaker 4 The worst thing, but the best thing. And I mean that with my whole heart because
Speaker 4 God will allow things to happen.
Speaker 4 Like some things aren't in his will, like horrible things happen and it's not like the perfect will, but he will allow things to happen to get you to the point where you become so hungry because he sees your heart.
Speaker 4
He saw my heart, how willing it was. He saw how good I was.
He saw that I wanted to, but I was just too stuck. And so he allowed the brokenness to come in.
And that's what made me so hungry.
Speaker 4
That's what made me so dependent. That's what made me cling on to him and get to know him because nothing else was curing my pain.
I tried everything, but it was only Jesus that filled.
Speaker 4 that void and so I'm like look please I know that you guys are hurting but just let it hurt
Speaker 4 Just every day, like this pain that you're going through, be like, you know what? It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4
I'm going to get through this with Jesus and who He's going to rise me up into is going to be just, I won't even recognize myself. And focus on that.
Don't focus on the pain.
Speaker 4
I know it's really hard when you're in it. And I know, and I'm not disregarding the pain, but I just know that I'm in it with you.
I really am. And her too.
We both.
