Don’t let fear and feelings impact your faith.
let me be real for a minute…
I’ve been held back by insecurity and fear all my life. I am so afraid to be vulnerable and real. I’m afraid people will judge me. I’m scared that I am less than people expect me to be. My biggest insecurity is my speech impediment. Everytime I stutter I feel weak and unworthy, I feel LESS. For the last 10 years I’ve been building up these walls, I’ve placed myself in this “I’m perfect” box. And I’ve acted strong and unbothered for so long. I’ve avoided words phrases I know I stutter on. I ordered the “easy orders” in restaurants to avoid stuttering. I never ask questions in class. I’m so exhausted of trying to be the person I’m not. I’m tired of not ordering what I want, saying what I want and hiding myself just because I’m ashamed of how I was created. // I realised that these fears and feelings crippled my faith. I didn’t believe I was made in God’s image. God created me for a purpose. “for we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for the good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should work in them” (ephesians 2:10) // I never stepped into my purpose because I never wanted to accept that I’m different. I just wanted to fit in. We all are shaped in a way to form part in the PERFECT plan. I was scared to exit my comfort zone, it makes me feel awkward and out of place. but ever since since I’ve taken these baby steps to accept myself as Christ created me, I’ve grown so much in who I am and into my bigger purpose. //
So here’s a little advice:
A different attitude creates a life of abundance. Dare to be different and give God the chance to break the chains that insecurity holds on you. “that is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." (2 corinthians 12:10). I can’t promise you it’s going to be a quick and easy process but it’s worth it! Let God work through you, the whole you, the REAL you. Just be willing and see how God will move in your life. “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (‭‭1 thessalonians‬ ‭5:18‬) taken in River Valley Church by @lynn_stemmet

Thank You, Jesus!

Your love and grace completely changed my life. The person I used to be is no longer who I am today. The old me is gone, I am made new. A new creation in You.

I didn’t fix myself or earn this. It was Your mercy, Your kindness, and Your unfailing love that found me, brought me home, lifted me, and transformed me from the inside out.

Thank You for dying on the cross for me, for carrying my sin, my shame, and my brokenness. You defeated death itself — You rose again, conquering the grave so that I could live in freedom. What once held me captive has no power anymore because You made a way. Even death couldn’t stop You! You rose again in power and victory, breaking every chain and giving me life that cannot be taken away.

I am not who I was. I am who You say I am. ✝️🤍
