The Bible says that the truth will set you free. Not our truth, but the Lord’s.

I have gone back and forth with Jesus about my story and how parts of it were so very hard to accept. I asked all the why’s. I cried all the tears. Let me tell you, the Lord is patient. Lol.

I’ve learned this: my story is mine to tell. It’s what I know is true. The Lord’s truth is what set me free from how I perceived my life. My story. The lies I believed that kept me quiet, passive, and ashamed stopped being louder than his voice to me.

It’s only because of Jesus that I am able to tell of what He has done for me, and not only what others have done to me.

I am not a victim. I am not a problem. I am not anyone’s dark secret that holds me hostage.

I am healed. I am loved. I am strong. I am full of purpose. I am a light in the darkness and so are you!!

Don’t be ashamed of where God has brought you from. Your story. Your life is a living testimony to what God can do with your brokenness.

No one will ever be able to tell your story the way you can. You lived it. You survived it. It’s time to shine His light in dark places so others have a way out. A way through.

What are you waiting for?
