Jesus is Your Foundation.
In a world that often tells us our value depends on relationships, achievements, or the approval of others, it’s easy to forget a vital truth: Jesus alone is the unshakable foundation of our worth.
As women of faith, many of us grow up dreaming about finding the right partner—going on dates, planning weddings, and experiencing the joy of companionship. Romantic love is a beautiful gift from God, but it was never meant to complete us. No person, relationship, or title can do what only Jesus can.
The reality is that even the most loving relationship can’t fill the deepest longings of your soul. That space was made for Christ alone. He sees every broken part of you and still calls you chosen, beloved, and whole.
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." — Hebrews 13:8

Don’t let a relationship become the measure of your value, and don’t pursue someone just to feel noticed or important. Your worth isn’t found in others—it’s firmly rooted in the love of the King of Kings, who has already chosen you completely and forever.
When Christ is your foundation, your identity is rooted in Him, not in others’ opinions. You no longer seek validation by compromising yourself because you are fully seen and deeply loved. Your love flows from wholeness, not emptiness, enabling you to give freely without expecting completion from anyone else. Your heart is anchored in truth, guiding you to respond with wisdom instead of fleeting emotions. As a result, you become someone who brings strength and peace into future relationships—not someone looking for healing through others, but someone ready to grow and build together. Romantic love is beautiful, but it’s not your Savior. Jesus is.
When He is your foundation, every relationship you enter will be healthier, holier, and rooted in love that lasts.
Let Him be enough. Let Him be the One. Everything else will fall into place when Jesus is at the center.
It is so easy to lean on relationships, achievements, or other people’s opinions—even those we’ve never met through social media. The dreaded “likes” have become a way so many try to fortify their self-worth, which seems so backwards to me. To gauge your value by the opinion of a stranger—whose words shift with the wind, and who has contributed nothing to your life—is giving away power that doesn’t belong to them. And yet, this happens more often than not in our culture. But no matter how much we seek it, that kind of validation never fully satisfies.
Your reminder that Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever was grounding for me. The more Christ is at the center of…
