Confidence found...

I remember being young and walking through a season of depression. I felt broken, ugly, and like I didn't matter. I was in a place of brokenness and I honestly couldn't see a way out, but God. In the middle of that darkness I was shown the love of God. I'll never forget a conversation I had with someone close to me during that season. Scripture was spoken over me daily and I was constantly reminded that I am enough because Christ in me is enough.

I am loved because God loved me so much He sent His only son to die in my place. I am beautiful because I was made in the image and likeness of God.

Friend, sometimes it is as simple as speaking truth over yourself until you believe it. I remember the days I spent speaking this truth over myself. The days I didn't believe a word I was saying, until one day the shaking was gone from my voice as I spoke those same words over myself.

The doubt was gone and I calmed that truth with confidence.

I'd be lying if I said it happened over night. It took over a month for me to believe my own words. Healing takes time, but it starts with that one small step.

Healing takes time, but it starts with one step.

I want to give you one more verse from the Bible, before I end today.

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:10, ESV).

Much love friends,

Alianna
