The grace of being ourselves

When we focus on what’s right about us—being the lovingly crafted children of God that we are—we swim against the undertow of a society that wants to focus on what’s wrong about us, whether it’s our abs or our interpersonal skills. When we accept the grace of being ourselves, the incredible people God created, we embark on a journey of worshiping God.
