If you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. - 1 Peter 4:16

Butterflies don’t dwell on who they were as a caterpillar. You are a new creation. You are not the old you.

1. You think God sees every mistake you've ever made. 2. He sees the person He chose before you even existed. 3. You think God sees someone who keeps falling short. 4. He sees someone covered by a grace with no limits. 5. You think God sees your worst moment. 6. He sees His child. 7. You think God sees the version of you that you're ashamed of. 8. He sees the version of you He’s making you into.

"Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion." - Brennan Manning
