In a twinkle of the eye it all happened, it’s not just about what they took but what they left behind. The fear, sleepless nights, that sudden pause each time you hear unusual sound at night, that shivering and sweats when someone breaks into your space whether they stole your phone, car, savings or simply your peace? it shakes something inside you. It’s not just loss, it's VIOLATION! 😭
*ANONYMOUS* Shared how armed robbers broke into her house one midnight. They took her phones, her husband’s laptop and every little property they could carry but what stayed with her wasn’t the loss of items, it was the fear that someone could step into her world uninvited. For months, she would wake up at every slight noise.
Many of us have similar experiences, maybe a stolen bag at the market, a phone snatched through a car window, on gunpoint, in the room while asleep at night or a friend who disappeared with our money. It’s painful and happens more than we admit. 😣
That kind of pain that comes from losing something you built with your own hands. It’s not just about the object but the sweat, midnight candles and sacrifices? Whether it’s business money, property or hard-earned savings.
*ENCOURAGEMENTS:*
*1: Your pain is valid* it’s completely okay to grieve even when people say “it’s just material things.”
*2: What you lost doesn’t erase what you carry inside* Remember you have the skill, drive, experience and ability to replace.
Rebuilding may take time, but you already know how to build and that’s your power. 🔥
*3: Preparation* Sometimes God allows a loss to redirect your strength to something bigger, not destroy it.
*4: Healing after loss:* This isn’t only about replacing what’s gone, it’s about finding yourself again after the shock. 🥹
*5: Have faith:* Yes you lost things, but you don’t have to loose trust in life.
*6: Grieve but don't stay there forever.* Sometimes the loss makes you more alert, wiser, cautious and stronger.
*7: Let go:* Your peace is yours to rebuild, no matter who tried to take it.
Dear Queen,
Yes they broke into your peace but they couldn’t steal your resilience, You survived what tried to shake you. You may have lost valuables, but you gained perspective.
You learned to lock your doors tighter, pray harder and live smarter. Even tho they took something precious, they didn’t take you. You’re still standing strong and that’s power. 💪🏽
Thankfully you didn't loose everything, They may have taken what your hands provided but they can’t touch the power in those same hands.
One day your comeback story will be louder than your loss. ❤️
