Day #394 – Tough Love
Dear God I’m Grateful For Tough Love
.
With Today being Valentine’s Day, I assumed my focus of gratitude would be a bit lighter and more on the romantic side, but in all honesty today was rough and it was exactly what I needed.
.
Outside of waking up to cramps and barely sleeping a few hours, the day was filled with meetings and calls that left me drained and exhausted and my emotions got the best of me on a day where love should come naturally.
.
It was a rough day.
.
I’m not even going to sugarcoat anything because we all have them. What made today beautiful is that it ended in tough love.
.
It ended in my husband encouraging me to stop settling for less than what I’m worth and stop allowing my emotions to drive my actions. He told me that He sees so much more in me than what I’m accepting for myself and that he’s tired of hearing me talk about being encouraged and going for better, than actually changing my situation. He talked about how God has given me open door after open door, yet I haven’t had the discipline or courage to walk through them.
.
His words were a deep pill to swallow on top of a long day, cramps, wavering emotions, frustration and exhaustion. And after the day I had, I just wanted to go to watch tv or go sleep.
.
However, after hearing my husband, I feel the urge to get to work. It was the wake up call I didn’t know I needed and emotions aside, I know that he only shared this truth because of how much he loves me and believe in me.
.
Sometimes we need someone in our lives to give us the honest truth, even when it hurts. I’m grateful that my forever Valentine is that blessing for me and I appreciate the tough love he shared with time this evening.
.
“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NLT
