“Sometimes, I forget that the real me does not need to be ashamed. I am loved unconditionally, already approved by God. Satan knows that if he can deceive me into believing that my worth is found in what others say about me, then I will miss out on the truth of who I am because of whose I am. Instead, I choose to fill my heart with what God says about me and filter the negative through God’s truth. His Word equips me, and His Spirit empowers me for every good work He’s planned for me (2 Timothy 3:16-17).”
