Are You Giving Yourself Grace?
Are you giving yourself grace every single day?
When you start that new job, and everyone around you seems so sure of themselves while you’re quietly wondering if you belong—are you giving yourself grace?
When that coworker you’ve always clicked with suddenly feels… off. The energy isn’t flowing, the jokes don’t land, the trust feels shaky—and you can’t pinpoint what changed—are you giving yourself grace?
When that family member who never checks in on you suddenly wants to hold a warm conversation at a formal gathering—and something in you resists because the history between you is anything but warm—are you giving yourself grace? Are you letting yourself be honest about that tension without shaming yourself for not pretending it’s all perfect?
When you step into a new relationship and realize you’re not your best self yet—when you’re doing the hard work to be better, to show up differently, to love more fully—but the other person just doesn’t seem to understand how hard you’re trying—are you giving yourself grace?
When your creativity feels trapped in quicksand, and every idea that starts to bloom seems to wither before it’s finished—but you can still feel that pulse inside you saying keep going—are you giving yourself grace?
When parenting feels heavy, when adulthood feels overwhelming, when leadership feels isolating, when friendship feels one-sided—are you giving yourself grace?
As someone living in this messy, loud, exhausting, beautiful world—someone who wants to be heard, wants to be seen, wants to make a difference—are you giving yourself grace?
Are you giving yourself grace the way God gives it to you—without hesitation, without earning it, without conditions—every single morning you wake up breathing?
You should.
You should respect yourself more.
You should love yourself more.
You should give yourself the same patience you’d give to someone you care about.
You should silence the voice in your head that says you’re not doing enough.
Grace isn’t an excuse to give up—it’s the courage to keep going without tearing yourself apart when the progress is slower than you hoped. It’s the reminder that there’s beauty in imperfection, that strength is built in the stumbles, and that your worth isn’t measured by constant achievement.
You are enough.
You are already a conqueror.
You are already standing in victory over the things you once thought would break you.
The truth is, grace is a gift you can give yourself every day. And if you really believed that, your whole life would feel lighter.
So I’ll ask you again—are you giving yourself grace?
Because you should.
You really, truly should.
