My heart was broken this summer.
I entered into several stories of teenagers who shared a common thread of depression, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. These friends struggled with reconciling their identities and worth with tetelestai.
But it is finished. And that means God is calling you to new life.
The world needs your mind, perspective, creativity, talent, and energy.
Rebuke the lie that says your life doesn't matter.
You are the image of God - created unique in his heart. You have something deeply good to contribute to the Kingdom. No one else can do what you were created to do, within that space of time and sphere of influence you were afforded. You are a co-collaborator with Christ.
You are going to make mistakes, but you will learn from them.
That's the beauty of grace.
You will grow.
So get up, press on.
Put courage into someone's heart today.
You were worth dying for, so live.
