You’re more …

What happens when you’re no longer useful to people?

Coworkers stop calling.
Your kids stop needing you.
Friends stop showing up.

It’s a strange reality: most relationships we experience in life are transactional, whether we want to admit it or not. People lean in when you can solve their problem, ease their burden, or fill their need. When that season passes or you disagree with them, so often, they drift.

That’s not always betrayal, it’s just human nature. But it hurts.

So what do you do?

Anchor yourself in values deeper than usefulness.
Invest in people even when there’s “nothing in it for you.”
Learn to separate being needed from being valued.

Because one day, the calls slow down, the house gets quieter, and the spotlight moves on. And if your worth is tied only to how useful you are, you’ll feel empty.

But if your worth is tied to who you are and Who you belong to you’ll find that being needed was never the point. Being present, being loving, being faithful … that’s where your strength really is.
