Let your heart feel grace. Give your mind peace to know you are doing well without approval from outside sources. Remember that the enemy will not go away and mostly, people wont see you do good. Unfortunately, they will remember the days you were less than admirable or fell victim to temptation. But REST…. remember that the one who holds your future sees the good in you. He defines you as higher and better than your mistakes. And for that, you can guard your heart against the other lies. They do not get to hold you or your heart in chains. They do not get to define you as less than a daughter of Christ. There is true freedom in only allowing yourself to be held captive by the one true king. Because when he holds us, he guards us, just like we do our own children.
Remember this when you feel weary of doing good and depleted by doing wrong.
You are MORE!
Sincerely, *the past* Sydney.
