I saw myself as ‘not holy enough’ for my Christian friends and ‘too good’ for my non-Christian friends. The truth is, I never really felt like I fit the mold anywhere.

What I've learned, though, is that the feeling of being an outsider - that you don’t belong - it only has as much power as you give it.

We have been called to be truth-tellers, encouragers of the word, and warriors of peace… and we will not be silenced. So what’s stopping you, sister? What’s stopping you from facing that aversion by holding tight to the truth you claim and holding fast to the promises of God?

Knowing your value starts with discovering who you are which is rooted in who God says you are. This is important because if you don’t base your identity in Jesus, then you will always miss the mark. You will always be drowning in a sea of dirty clothes, stuck in the same spot, wearing masks to cover up your true feelings.
