I was so encouraged by these powerful words and declarations over us made by The Crowning Jewels back on International Women’s Day, that I wanted to share them with you, especially in light of Mother’s Day this Sunday. We as women, whether mothers in the natural or not, all have a sphere of influence, a God-given destiny, a life message, a voice that needs to be heard by someone and an impact to make in this world. Yet somehow, we tend to put so much pressure on ourselves and many times feel like we have missed it, that we’re way behind where we think we should be at this moment, that what we have to share is not valuable or that we simply feel so inadequate. Trust me, I am talking to myself here too!
The truth is this: God’s heart towards us is that we would feel fully loved, fully valued, fully approved of, fully confident in who He created us to be, and that we would know and truly believe that He is fully invested in us and His plans and purposes for us. He is in our corner and He’s not going to let us fail. The only job we really have is to cling to Him because apart from Him we can do nothing.

(I hope that you do… and put it on REPEAT!)
Because I personally like to have words like this in a place that I can see, read and refer to over and over again, I actually took the time to transcribe them for myself back when they were released a couple of months ago, so here they are for you below if you want to read through them. (And yes, many of the words are repeated here because sometimes we just have to keep hearing them over and over so we can get ahold of them!)
I hope you feel encouraged and strengthened and that these words propel you forward in this season!
Alyssa, The Crowning Jewels, March 8, 2018:
“The Lord wants to take pressure off of you and release you from any false burdens you are carrying.
You have space to be yourself.
You have permission to be you.
You have permission to use your voice.
You have nothing to prove.
You have nothing to prove.
You have nothing to prove.
You have nothing to prove.
You are accepted.
You are accepted exactly the way you are.
I believe in you. Say this to your heart, “I believe in you.” And hear God this saying to you.
You have what it takes.
You have everything you need.
You have exactly what it takes.
It’s already been given to you.
There is room in this world for you.
There is room here for you to be yourself.
There is space for you and you belong here.
You have a place at the table.
You can do it.
You can do it.
You can do it.
I am proud of you. And tell your heart, “I am proud of you.” And hear the Father saying this to you, “I am proud of you.”
The pressure is off.
The pressure is off.
The pressure is off.
It’s okay to feel.
It’s okay to feel.
It’s okay to feel.
You are not a failure.
You are not a failure.
You are not a failure.
You are not a failure.
There is no time limit.
There is no time limit.
There is no time pressure.
The Father does not have a time limit on you.
Your time is not ticking away.
Nothing is going to expire.
There is no time limit.
You are free.
You are free.
You are free.
You can breathe.
You can breathe.
You are doing a great job.
You are doing an amazing job.
You are doing such a good job at life.
You can take all the time you need.
There is more than enough time for you.
You can take all the time you need.
You are not alone.
You are not alone.
You are never alone.
It’s going to be okay.
No matter what it looks like right now, it’s going to be okay.
You are safe.
You are worth it.
You are enough.
You are enough.
The way you are, you are enough.
You are worth it.
It’s okay to make mistakes.
It’s okay to try something new.
You were chosen.
You don’t have to have all the answers.
You are so strong.
You are taken care of.
You are taken care of.
You are taken care of.
You are so taken care of.
And you are doing your best.
The pressure is off.
You don’t have to be anybody or do anything.
You have space to be yourself.
You can give your heart space to talk.
You can give your heart space to be you.
The world needs you to just be you.
You don’t have to be anyone else.
You don’t have to put pressure on yourself to do anything else.
The only person you are responsible for is you.
You are doing a great job managing yourself.
The only person whose opinion matters about you is God.
Holy Spirit says you are lovable, you are worth it, you are enough.
He has chosen you.
That’s the opinion that really matters.
Now that the pressure’s off, I declare that:
You are walking in the fullness of your destiny right now, in the middle of your process.
No matter what you are going through, you are in the fullness of your destiny.
Take the heaviness off that says you are supposed to be somewhere, or you’re missing out, or you’re not where you should be.
You are in the middle of you destiny right now, in your process.
You don’t have to prove anything.
If you feel weak, God says that He’s strong in your weakness, so it’s a beautiful place to be.
Paul said, “I will boast all the more strongly in my weakness.” So if you feel weak or you have a weakness, it’s okay because God can be strong for you.
You are taken care of.
You are so taken care of.
You were created the way you were created very intentionally and with a purpose, a very specific purpose.
You were designed intentionally, created specifically, everything about you was intentional and purposeful.
You are not purposeless.
Nothing about you was a mistake.
You were an intentional human being. God created you intentionally and designed you intentionally.
Your design is perfect and beautiful and he loves the way he designed you.
You can’t miss it.
You can’t miss it.
You’re going to get it right.
You are getting it right, right now.
Your mind is valuable.
Your thoughts are valuable.
Your thoughts and your voice are important for this world to hear.
You have what it takes.
You were created to speak and you were not created to be silent.
What you have to say is good and beautiful.
You can put it out there in the world and it is going to make a difference.
You were created to make a difference.
You already are making a difference in people’s lives.
The little things that you do everyday, He sees. He notices.
He says, “Thank you, I honor you. You are making a difference right now.”
Just being yourself every day in and out, you are making a difference already.
God trusts you.
Your dreams are so valuable and so important.
They are the language of God.
Your dreams and your desires are God’s language and they are a way that He speaks to you.
You are powerful.
You can trust yourself and God trusts you to trust yourself.
He’s put everything inside of you that you need.
He’s always there with you.
You have infinite, unlimited wisdom to tap into.
You have a teacher on call.
The Holy Spirit is your teacher.
Anytime you need Him, He’s right there.
You can ask a question and He will give you the answer.
He’s all the wisdom you need.
You don’t have to worry about being stranded and not knowing what you need.
You have everything inside of you.
It’s been given fully to you, completely.
Jesus thinks you’re beautiful.
He is celebrating you.
He delights in you.
He’s singing over you.
He’s rejoicing over you.
Your body is beautiful.
Your mind is beautiful.
Your soul is beautiful.
And it’s all enough.
It’s fully valued.
Everything you are is enough.
You are perfectly designed and created.
Again, there is no pressure on you to be anybody else or to do anything differently.
You are perfect the way that you were made.
The Father wants to give you a big embrace right now and He says, “I love you my daughter, the way that you were created. Today is a day that I want to celebrate you.”
Take a deep breath and just sit in the Father’s voice and all that He says you are.
Delight in who you are.
Delight in yourself.
Celebrate who you are and the way that He created you.
Let yourself be celebrated with your Father.
You are an amazing, amazing daughter.”
