The Beauty of a Story Redeemed by Grace

Hey, Beautiful, you could have believed those stories. 

The ones that told you every sideways glance and muffled laugh was proof of your inadequacy. Each time someone pointed out your flaws or left you standing alone, you took it as confirmation that you weren’t enough. 

You had a light within you, but you kept it hidden, afraid that shining too brightly would only make people notice your scars more. The armor you built to protect yourself became the very thing that weighed you down.

You remember those moments, don’t you? 

The times life shook you so hard, you felt like you were breaking. The potholes you hit so deep it thrust you far back, making you think there was no way forward. 

You told yourself you’d never make it. 

Those stories ran through every fiber of your being like a broken record, convincing you that you were a failure.

Girl!!!! I want you to PAUSE…

Get out of your own head for a second.  What if the struggles, the pain, the wins, and your past were all God’s way of preparing you for this moment? 

When you felt like you were breaking, could it be that God was shaping and molding you? 

When life shook you, it wasn’t about destroying you but to shake off what wasn’t meant to stay. And the rejections, could it be that they were meant to redirect you to what was meant for you?

See, God sees what we cannot and hears even when we’re not in the ROOM. That’s why He had them reject you. Yes, you crawled into His presence, and as you kept coming, He began to show you who you are in Him. He exposed you to you because He knew what He put in you.

And finally, you found your worth—not in the many things of this world but in the truth that you are accepted in the Beloved. He calls you WORTHY!!!!

No amount of money, education, influence, or material possessions can compare to you. You are worthy, and nothing can change that. 

Today, you have the power to rewrite your story.

You can decide to rise and shine because your story matters. And yes, with every stumble, pain, setback, and joy. It all matters just as it is.

The stories you told yourself about not being enough are lies.

Here’s the truth: You were never failing. You were growing. You were never unworthy. You were being refined. And through it all, God has been working behind the scenes, ensuring it will all work for your good. Yes, even the bad and the ugly.

This is your moment.

Look back at your treacherous journey and see how far you have come. You survived what you thought would break you. You overcame what you thought you couldn’t handle. And now, you have a choice.

Choose to believe a better story.

Choose to see the beauty in the ashes of your past. 

Choose to trust that every trial has a purpose and every scar tells a story of resilience.

You are not your mistakes. You are not your failures or your struggles. You are His masterpiece and still a work in progress.

Rise and shine, and let His light brood over every darkness in your corner and shine bright at the corners of your heart. 

Let the world see the beauty of a story redeemed by grace.

Your story matters.

This is not just for you but for those who are watching and waiting to see what happens when someone LIKE YOU chooses faith over fear and hope over despair. Your story has the power to inspire and influence others. 

This is your time to rewrite the narrative and own your story. 

Cheering you on
