“You got to own -your own story!”

Beloved, “Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.” It’s easy to hide the messy chapters, to bury the pain, or to only show the highlight reel on social media. But true courage is found in embracing every part of the journey—the victories and the scars, the mistakes and the lessons, the valleys and the mountaintops.

David reminds us in Psalm 139:14, “I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” That includes your past, your present, and the person God is still shaping you to be. What feels like brokenness to you, God calls beautiful because He sees the full story—one that’s not defined by shame, but redeemed by grace.

So Beloved, don’t despise your journey. Own your story. Love yourself through the process. Every page, every chapter, every sentence is being used by God to write something bigger, something braver, something eternal.

Pray with me:

Father, thank You for reminding me that my story is not wasted. Give me the courage to own it, the grace to love myself in it, and the faith to trust that You are still writing it. May my life bring You glory in every chapter. In Jesus’ name we pray, believe, receive, and praise. Amen.
