#1. We all try to hide our shame with costumes of success, busyness & humor. But this is exhausting. God wants to set us free.
#2. When we try to be someone we are not, we miss out on who God made us to be.
#3. “The story we are telling the world is half as endearing as the story living inside of us.” @donaldmiller
#4. We can be who we really are because God loves us just the way we are.
#5. Even in our shame He knows our name and loves us the same.
#6. He pursues us not because He’s out to get us, but out to grow us. Out to win us back, not pay us back. He is our friend, not our enemy.
#7. When David prayed Psalm 51, he took off his helmet, laid down his sword & said, “God, you are king. I am not.”
#8. When we give up our sword, we acknowledge Him as Lord.
#9. When we get real with God we can get real with others.
#10. When we get going, we growing. Free people free people. Loved people love people.
#11. We can be fully loved when we are willing to be fully known.
#12. What is that one area in our life we work so hard to cover up? May we uncover our shame & let Him cover it with grace.
