Give yourself Grace

Gift Yourself Grace

Gift yourself Grace


One of the many things I struggled with growing up was self-compassion.


I hurriedly gifted others what I refused to give to myself, why?


Possibly a trauma response, plus a lack of awareness.


I did not know I was doing this until much later in my life, I realized as a result of an event that happened when I was younger, I saw mistakes as a taboo.


Yet, I was making mistakes and the more I made mistakes the more, I lashed out at myself, punished myself and neglected myself.


Yes, we can condemn ourselves into oblivion and numbness of heart and soul.


Until one day, just like that, I head, gift yourself grace, gift it to yourself.


Mistakes happen, learn from it, acknowledge that it happened and give yourself grace.


When we ask the LORD for help, forgiveness, he gives it to us, but why then do we stay stuck, feeling like we are beyond redemption.




That is a lie, you are not beyond redemption, that mistake happened, release it to God, learn how not to from what has happened, and say to yourself, I give myself GRACE.


Even when it feels like others don’t give you that Grace, it's usually a reflection of them and not you.


Give yourself grace, if you had known better, you would not have done it.


Gift yourself grace, as well as be the person who gives others grace to, knowing that you first received grace from the LORD.


Kolawole Solomon

When my pen bleeds, expressions are kept close to my heart, and as it bleeds the words from deep within through my writings, I discover I have created art. I display a piece of my soul. This is my work, my blood, and it should be an object of pride, no matter how much it is criticized or praised.
