My Declaration of Faith:
Today, I remind my heart that I don’t have to chase after people’s approval to feel worthy. I don’t have to earn my value through someone else’s kindness, invitation, or applause. Yes, it feels good when others affirm me, but that’s not where my identity is rooted.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him.”
Luke 15:20
We all can remember the times we have messed up. When we fall short, hurt someone knowingly, and even sin intentionally. In our failures, our conscience is always ready to condemn us and fill our minds with guilt and shame.
My Declaration of Faith:
Today, I remind myself of this truth: I am already approved. Before I ever breathed my first breath, God knew me. He saw every part of my life—every high and every low—and still, He chose me. He placed something unique inside of me that no one else carries. I’m not a mistake. I’m not overlooked. I’m not flawed. I am called, equipped, and chosen in Christ.
