Let me say this clearly:
You don’t have to fix everything about yourself to be worthy of love.

You don’t have to erase every mistake, rewrite every memory, or heal every scar before you’re finally enough.

Some of you feel like love is a finish line. Like if you just do enough shadow work, enough therapy, enough affirmations — then one day, finally, you’ll be lovable.

But hear me: you are already worthy. Not in some future version of yourself, not “when you get it together,” but right here, right now.

One of the biggest lies we’ve been sold is that healing makes you worthy.

Think about it.
You say:
“If I stop being anxious, then I’ll deserve peace.”
“If I overcome this trauma, then I’ll finally deserve love.”
“If I can be positive all the time, then I’ll finally be valuable.”

But here’s the truth: that mindset makes healing another hustle. A spiritual hamster wheel that never ends.

Because there will always be another layer. Another wound. Another shadow.
If you tie your worth to healing, you’ll never feel worthy — because you’ll always find something else to fix.

Healing isn’t about earning your worth. Healing is about remembering it.

So where does this belief come from?

From the time we were children, love was often taught with conditions.
“If you behave, you’re good.”
“If you fail, you’re punished.”
“If you perform, you’re loved.”

And without even realizing it, we grew up believing love is transactional. That to be loved, we must prove ourselves.

But let me tell you: love that requires performance is not love. That’s control.
God didn’t design you to earn love. God created you from love.

Your worth is not in your achievements, your mistakes, or your progress. Your worth is in your being.

Now — does this mean we shouldn’t heal? No.
Growth is sacred. Healing is necessary.

But healing should never come from shame.
Healing should never feel like punishment.
Healing should never feel like a requirement to finally deserve love.

Instead, healing is a return to yourself. It’s not about fixing what’s “wrong.” It’s about remembering what’s always been true — that you are enough.

When you remove the pressure to “be fixed,” your healing becomes lighter. It becomes less about achieving and more about receiving.

Here’s something powerful:
Some of us are addicted to identifying as “broken.”

We cling to our wounds because they’ve become who we are.
We say: “I’m the one with trauma.” “I’m the one who struggles.” “I’m the one who’s always healing.”

But you are not your pain.
You are not your past.
You are not your wounds.

You are the one who survived it.
You are the one who is still standing.
You are the one God still calls worthy.

At some point, you have to stop identifying as the broken one and start identifying as the beloved one.

So here’s the shift:
You don’t heal to become lovable.
You heal because you are already lovable.

You don’t grow to finally be worthy.
You grow because your worth is already established.

Think about it — the baby version of you was worthy of love. The child version of you was worthy of love. And the adult version of you — with all your mistakes, all your scars, and all your healing left to do — is still worthy of love.

Your worth is not up for debate. It never was.

So take this with you today:
You don’t have to fix every piece of yourself before you can rest.
You don’t have to complete some never-ending checklist before you deserve peace.

You are allowed to be a work in progress and still be worthy.

Because love isn’t waiting for some future version of you.
Love is waiting for you to stop running, stop striving, and simply allow yourself to receive it now.

So breathe. Let go of the shame.
Stop trying to prove your worth through perfection.
And remember — you are enough, exactly as you are.
