Pretending

Sometimes we spend so much time pretending—pretending we are okay, pretending we have it all together, pretending to be who others expect us to be—that we lose sight of who we really are. But healing begins when we stop performing and start being honest. Authenticity is not weakness; it is strength. God cannot heal the version of you that is pretending. He heals the real you—the hurt you, the growing you, the becoming you. Stop pretending. Show up as you are, and allow God to do what only He can do.
