Many people these days prioritize their image and hide behind a mask of perfection. But the truth is that we can’t hide our real face from God, He knows our struggles and fears. That mask only will delay the blessings and purpose that God has for us. Being humble and recognizing that we’re not perfect will help us have a real relationship with Him.
You’re not supposed to be a doormat for people to walk all over, control you, demean you, belittle you, make you feel not good enough. You need people around you that inspire you, people who cause you to dream bigger.
God is going to keep making you, molding you, giving you grace to come up higher until He finishes. The key is to accept yourself while God is in the process of changing you. Know that He is pleased with you right where you are.
Don’t judge your future based on the progress you’ve seen in the past. God is not limited by a normal timeline. God controls time. What looks like is a long way off, get ready, it’s going to happen sooner than you think.
