Forgiveness is only effective when we walk in it. Both people have to walk in it.

You’re not an idiot because something bad happened like you lost $100 that you can’t afford to lose. You’re not shameful because someone molested or raped you as a child. You didn’t deserve to be raped because you were drunk at a party. Your worth isn’t diminished because your father didn’t know how to adequately love you.

I do not believe you are an accident. I do believe you have worth.
