    If We Could Have Coffee... (Ebook Shorts) - Holley Gerth

    Cover    55

    Introduction

    Dear You,

    How are you today? I wish I could ask you that question face-to-face. I’d listen long and hard to your answer. And there are some things I’d want to share with you too. So until we get to have that conversation over coffee, I’m sending these words in my place.

    Let them speak to your heart when you’re feeling weary.

    Or when you need to remember how much you’re loved.

    Maybe when you want to brighten someone else’s day.

    I’ve connected with thousands of women, and I’ve discovered that while our lives are very different, our hearts are much the same. We all need to believe we have purpose, that we’re beautiful, and that we’re going to be okay.

    We all need to hear what’s true again and again.

    So think of these words as little love notes for your life. Love notes that started in the heart of God and just happen to be delivered by me to you. Please pass them along to other women in your life too.

    Enjoy.

    Remember.

    Be encouraged.

    XOXO

    Holley Gerth

    1

    You’re Loved

    Dear You,

    Let’s start with what matters most: you’re loved. I don’t know why it’s so hard for us to deeply, wholly believe that’s true. I’ve heard again and again the whispers of doubt. Can I be a different voice, a louder voice, in your life today?

    You really are loved.

    Just as you are.

    More than you know.

    There’s nothing that can change that in your life. Not a bad day, not a mistake, not all the ways you may sometimes worry you fall short. Nothing. So close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let the words wrap themselves around your heart.

    I am loved.

    It’s wonderfully true.

    That means you don’t ever have to prove yourself. You don’t have to strive to earn the affection your heart most longs for. You can be free from continually pursuing more and yet never feeling like enough.

    You’re loved in a way that is secure forever. The God who spoke the universe into being has said these words to you: I love you. And what he says can never be altered. In a world where so much may change, you can trust that his love will always stay the same. Your heart is truly safe with him.

    Now. Tomorrow. Always.

    XOXO

    You’re Beyond Compare

    Dear You,

    We all compare ourselves to others at times. We look at other women and ask ourselves, Why can’t I be more like her? So let me lean across the table and tell you today that you are exactly who you’re created to be.

    Before you took your first breath, God placed gifts within you. He wove you together with strengths, abilities, and that smile of yours that lights up a room. He made you irreplaceable.

    There’s one thing no other person in the world can do better than you, and that’s simply being you.

    You are made in the image of God, and there’s a part of who he is that only shows up in this world through you. You may feel ordinary, but you’re anything but that, sweet girl. You are a masterpiece. A bit of the divine. Extraordinary.

    When you let your heart receive
