:: Far more than your flaws ::

"This is one of the main reasons we struggle with insecurity: We're comparing our behind-the-scenes with everybody else's highlight reel.

But remember: Every weakness you know about yourself, God knows in greater detail than you could ever imagine. He knows the defect as well as what causes the defect.

But God says you are something different from your defects -- something far more than your flaws.

Before you were born -- before any of your defects were apparent to you -- they were absolutely apparent to God. That didn't stop Him from calling your name and setting you apart. He placed you on earth at a certain time for a pre-decided purpose.

And even when you can't seem to get your act together, your identity is secure and completely intact. Because in Christ, who you are matters infinitely more than anything you do or cannot do."
