"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine" Isaiah 43:1

For so long, I found my worth in worldly things such as; job titles, achievements, even relationships. I believed I had to earn love, that I had to prove I was enough. And honestly? That mindset nearly broke me. I’ve struggled with anger, with feeling unseen and unworthy, and with the lie that I had to hold everything together on my own. I thought if I just tried harder, was calmer, did more, then everything would be okay. But the truth is, I was exhausted and empty. 

Then God stepped in. Not in a big, dramatic moment, but in the small, everyday ways He surrounded me with truth. Through the church, through Regeneration, and through friends who love Jesus and love me enough to speak life over me, I began to see that my worth isn't in what I do but in who He is. I used to believe I had to fight for love, but now I know I already belong to Him. 

Isaiah 43:1: ‘Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine.’ 

God has been peeling back the layers of shame, showing me that I am not an obligation, rather, I am chosen. That I don’t have to fight for love, I already have it in Him. And that even in my weaknesses, He is strong. I’m still in the process, but for the first time, I’m not walking alone. And if you’re feeling unseen, unworthy, or just tired, I want you to know you’re not alone either. God sees you. He’s fighting for you. And He is enough.
