Daughters of Abba,
For years I thought love was earned. That if I was perfect, I would be accepted. That if I produced results, I would be valuable. That if I gave enough, I would be worthy. But performing for love only left me empty.
One day, I realized God loved me before I ever performed. Before the degrees, before the titles, before the applause. He loved me when I was still broken, still learning, still struggling. And if He loved me without performance, why did I still think I had to prove myself to people?
Daughter, release the performance trap. Stop auditioning for rooms you’ve already been invited to. Stop begging for love when you were born from Love Himself. You don’t have to earn it. Just receive it.
