Your story is still being written.

Maybe you’ve been struggling for longer than you ever expected. Maybe you’ve tried things that didn’t work. Maybe you’re tired of starting again.

But this chapter is not the whole story.

“The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17

🙌 Hang in there. You're doing great.

Forgiveness is hard and complicated. But it is a powerful and empowering choice we get to make and work towards. It's saying "what you did was NOT ok, but the judgement of your behaviour belongs to God, not me."

(Important note: Forgiveness isn't the same as reconciliation. Yes, it can be the starting point, but sometimes reconciliation isn't possible if the other person is unrepentant, unchanging and unsafe. You can release forgiveness and still put up health boundaries.)

Jesus says 👉 "Come to me, all who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest."

Shame says 👉 "Hide. Your burdens make you look weak and your weariness is an inconvenience."

Which voice are you listening to?

Rooting for you 💪🙏

If there is one thing we want all Christians to hear, loud and clear, on it’s this:

Shame is a liar.

You are not who your shame says you are:
You are not your thoughts.
You are not your worst day.
You are not your struggles.
You are not what has happened to you.
You are not worthless and unloveable.
You are not a failure because you are not healed yet.

You are who GOD says you are:
Wonderfully Made (Psalm 139:14)
A new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17)
God’s workmanship (Ephesians 2:10)

Shame will stop you reaching for help and starting a healing journey. Shame will try and convince you that you'll only be rejected if people knew your thoughts, struggles and beliefs.

And (sometimes) it can feel that being a Christian makes this worse. On top of your other struggles, shame will try and tell you that prayer should be enough, and if it’s not, it’s becuase you don’t have enough faith, or maybe you are just too fundamentally flawed.

But shame is a liar.

Freedom comes when we focus on who GOD says we are, and making every other thought and feeling submissive to the truth that we are loved and of infinite value.

Comment ’Shame is a liar’ to declare this over self today and remind others of this simple but incredibly liberating truth.

Maybe you thought becoming a Christian would change everything.

The addiction to disappear. The anxiety to go. The intrusive thoughts to stop. The anger to settle. The shame to lift.

And when it didn’t, you started wondering what was wrong with your faith.

But following Jesus doesn’t mean you never struggle. It means you don’t have to struggle alone.

There is space for faith AND honesty. Prayer AND professional support. Hope AND grief. Spiritual growth AND the slow work of healing.

🤔 What’s one thing you wish more Christians understood about mental health?

Knowing Bible verses doesn’t automatically mean we’ve applied them accurately to ourselves.

You can know:
“God loves me”
👉 and still believe you're unlovable.

You can know:
“I am forgiven.”
👉 and still live under crushing shame.

You can know:
“God is with me.”
👉 and still feel completely alone.

Sometimes the work isn’t learning more truth. It’s discovering why we struggle to believe the truth we already know.

What's a verse you KNOW but struggle to BELIEVE?

We get it. You may have made mistakes. You may have coped in ways you’re not proud of. You may still be struggling with things you thought you would have overcome by now.

But none of those things gets the final word about who you are.

“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17

Your story is still being written.

If you needed this reminder today, save it for the days when you forget.

It’s easy to become fixated on everything we think needs changing.

Our bodies. Our personalities. Our failures. Our past. Our weaknesses.

But Scripture says: “We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus…” (Ephesians 2:10)

True, there may be things in your life that need healing and things that need changing. But your need for growth doesn’t cancel your worth. You are already someone God created intentionally.

Take a moment to think: what is one thing you appreciate about the way God made you? It could be something about your personality, your character, your gifts... or simply something you’re learning to accept.

Please share it below so we can appreciate it too!
