Is there a time to walk away?

Dear daughter,

A relationship is built by two imperfect people who make a conscious choice to love each other in spite of their shortcomings. The truth is both of you will make mistakes almost daily and if you continue to look closely, you’ll find more and more faults in him. Love will help you overlook them and love can help you love the faults out of him (more of that in another post).

Here’s the point of today’s post. If he is not willing to overlook your faults and keeps pointing them out...if he keeps putting you down for those faults...if he refuses to work with and walk with you in love and understanding, you need to consider walking away from the relationship before making it permanent in marriage.

Is there a time to walk away? Yes there is. But you will have to determine that based on some of your answers to the above questions. You determine if you should walk away.

Know when to walk away.

You are worth it

One of the strategies of the enemy is to downplay your value and worth--not to the world, but to you. With slow, deliberate thoughts that creep in, you can wake up on certain days feeling less than adequate and then doubt about everything that makes you, you begins to creep in.

The enemy will try to tell you that you're not valued by those around you. Do not agree with him.

He will try to trap you in a thought pattern that places you at the bottom, not on top. Do not allow those thoughts settle in.

His purpose is to make you feel down and forget your real worth. Don't let him.

Dear daughter, there is someone who thought you were worth dying for, so He did. And He would do it again if necessary. Thankfully it isn't. Once was enough, now it's up to you to live like you were worth the price, because you are.

So stop beating yourself up. Forgive yourself for every time you forgot your worth and begin to smile again.
