God never decides to start or stop loving us because we changed something, or did something, or stopped doing something, in order to make ourselves worthy or unworthy of His love. God just loves us, always. The more we understand "how deep the Father's love for us," the more it cannot help but shape our hearts and bring about natural change in our lives. I don't need to define what that "shaping" or "changing" should look like for anyone. I just keep pointing them back to that love of God which continually shapes and refines all of us.

applauds beautifully said!! thank you for posting this.

I worked at a toxic place for 8 months. It took me around 1.5-2.5 years to come back to myself. I’m still not the same person I was, but I’ve rebuilt a lot of confidence and happiness in my new role. It took time to build trust and get encouragement from my new boss and her leadership team. You can do it. Just keep taking care of yourself and seeking joy.
