DON’T ALLOW THEM; THOSE WHO CAN’T REPLACE AND CAN’T RESPECT YOU
In life, not everyone who comes close to you is meant to stay. Some people try to downplay your value, not because you are less, but because they can’t replace what you carry and yet refuse to respect it.
The truth is this: what you carry is unique, your worth is irreplaceable, and your voice matters. If you allow those who don’t respect you to dictate how you see yourself, you’ll shrink to fit into their small vision of you. But if you rise with confidence, you’ll shine in your true identity.
Respect is not begged—it is earned and reciprocated. Anyone who constantly disrespects you while benefiting from you is not a friend but a weight. Don’t allow them space in your life. If they can’t respect you, they don’t deserve access to you.
Remember, Jesus Himself said, “Do not give what is holy to dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine…” (Matthew 7:6). Protect your pearl—your worth, your gift, your dignity.
Walk with those who see your value, not those who try to bury it. Don’t let anyone make you doubt what God has placed in you. Stay bold, stay focused, and stay true—because the right people will respect and celebrate you, not diminish you.
