Permission Comes First

You don’t have to wait for the finished version — the final draft, the fixed thing, the “better” you — to already count and already be loved.

“Suffer it to be so now.”

— Matthew 3:15, KJV

“This still counts, even now — I’m not on hold.”

Three Questions

1. 1.What am I waiting to finish or fix before I’ll feel okay about myself?
2. 2.Would I let a friend feel this way about something they’re still working on?
3. 3.What would change if the permission came first instead of last?
