How to Take

One can know nothing of [anything] that is worthy to give unless one also knows how to take. ~ Havelock Ellis (as quoted in For Today)
Say, "Thank you" and then shut up.
I am worthy. Oh, how false that feels!
I am something, deserving recognition.
I deserve to be heard, to be honored.
I am precious, lovely, loved —
all those words that make me cringe,
make me want to bury my head
and not be seen.
But I am worthy. I am capable. I am loved.
God, teach me to honor the truth.
