I imagine we all have things in our past we'd rather others not know and maybe that we ourselves would like to forget. For almost two decades, I lived as disconnected from my past as possible.
I imagine we all have things in our past we'd rather others not know and maybe that we ourselves would like to forget.
For almost two decades, I lived as disconnected from my past as possible. And I didn't really like encountering people who knew me during my self-destructing days.
I didn't want to be reminded of who I'd once been. Plus, those interactions inevitably brought shame as I was certain my past remained on their mind as well.
But God didn't call me to a life of avoidance, silence, or shame. He called me to a life of bold, confident impact.
In Him, we have nothing to hide and no reason for shame.
