You Were Made for More

June 17, 2018



Hey, you.
You
With the terrible day job
And the bossy supervisors
And the worry of
“What if I never do anything else
For the rest of my life?”

You
With the self-doubt
That just keeps
Nagging
Nagging
Nagging
Until you feel like
“There’s no good left in me.”

You
With the friends
That aren’t really your friends
But they’re better than
No one
Or so you think.

You
Were
Made
For
More.

You weren’t created
To cry yourself to sleep every night
To wish that you were someone else
To feel like you’re nothing.

You were made in
God’s
Image,
And that means that
You.
Are.
Amazing.

You were created
To love.
To shine.
To be joyful.
To be you.

Don’t listen to anything
That says you’re worth nothing.
Because it’s
Just
Not
True.
I promise.

God knows what he’s doing.
He knew what he was doing
When He created you.
And He still does.

You
Were
Made
For
More
Than this world.

You were made to spread
God’s light
And hope
And joy.

He has a plan for you.

Just trust it.

Because you were created not for this world,
But for the next.

Today, I was going to publish my sequel to the redemption arc post that went up two weeks ago. But one day this week I came home crying and asking God for help. I wasn’t sure if I would make it as a writer, and I was absolutely terrified that I would never make it past a bagger in a grocery store. And as I was in my room pouring my heart out I heard five words. You were made for more.

This is a little different from what I usually post, I know, but I feel like I needed to write this. I just hope that someone reads this who needs it.

  2. This really hit me hard. Currently, I'm going through struggles at my day job, a job that was great... until it wasn't. And I know I'm meant to be there for a reason, but there's so much going on that I honestly don't want to get into, but having come home from work crying on at least one occasion, I know it stinks. It hurts. It's hard. All I want to do with my life is be my own boss and write my soul out.

    Thank you for this. You have made a difference already through these words. <3

    1. I umderstand completely. Almost the exact same thing is happening on this end. I started my first ever job a little while ago and it’s . . . hard. I've come back home in tears more than once, too. (I must say, though, writing is definitely motivation for getting through the day.)

      We're here for you, Ivie. And God's with you too. You can do this. <3

  3. This is amazing! I often struggle with my self-worth, so this is a wonderful reminder. <3

    Also, for some reason this reminded me of Grace VanderWaal's song So Much More than This. Anyways, this was so good! Great job. <33
