My Dear, You are Not Behind

My dear, you are not behind.

You are precious. 

Your season is valued.

You are not behind.

In every season, God can use you.

You are not behind 

You are making your own happiness.

You are not behind.

Although it looks like everyone else has it.

You are not behind

You are exactly where you need to 

If it wasn’t so, God would point that out to you

You are not behind

Others may have begun at a different time

Or had a different timeframe 

You are not behind

During every moment, there is good work to be done.

You are not behind.

Contentment is not hiding around the bend, waiting for you to turn and discover what you’ve been missing all along.

You are not behind.

You have so much to offer.

Although no one says anything or talks about it often enough, this is true: you are valued. 

You are not behind

I know it sometimes feels like you don’t fit. But you can’t be left out--not when you are making your own story. 

Contentment in Christ is for today. He sees you. He sees your season and he walks with you through it—highs, lows, and in between. 

My dear, you are not behind

You are right where you need to be

You are chasing joy

You are choosing what is next

You are stepping into courageous freedom at every corner

And no one can stop you or the way you choose to chase your dreams 

You are not behind. You are simply choosing your path and it just happens to not look like everyone else’s. 

And that is brave. That is different. 

You are choosing a path that fits you.

But it never means you are behind.

Not for a second.
