God did not create you to spend your life chasing approval. He created you with purpose, gifts, wisdom, personality, and value. You do not have to become someone else to matter.

Hold on to hope, and keep taking the next wise step. Receive the help God places before you, and remember that healing often happens one faithful day at a time.

Are the people you are friends with right now the kind of people who would help you get to Jesus if you needed Him and weren’t sure what to do? Do their actions mostly reflect the character, integrity, honesty, kindness, and thoughts of the future that you want your life to reflect?
