live boldly..

You show up different when you know how loved you are. 

There was a time in my life when I experienced two very different environments.

In one environment, I was deeply loved—it felt like I had a magnetic pull, and people would flock to me. I was a leader in this setting.

In the other environment, I was hated, mocked, and people would even watch my YouTube videos around me, openly laughing at anything I shared about Jesus.

In the environment filled with strife, I felt insecure, small, and devalued. But in the environment where I was valued, I showed up with confidence and a strong, fortified mind.

And I heard God speak to me, "You walk so differently when you know how Loved you are. You are so loved by Me."

He wants you to know that, too. 

This goes back to identity.

When you know how loved you are:

When you know you are loved, you can handle criticism, rejection, or difficult circumstances with a healthier perspective. Rather than internalizing negativity, you can separate yourself from the situation and not let it define your sense of self.

You begin to value yourself more. Self-worth is built on the understanding that you are valuable just as you are, without needing to prove anything. This leads to increased self-esteem and confidence. Instead of worrying about others' opinions or seeking validation, you show up in the world as your authentic self, unafraid of judgment because you know God's approved you before the world could ever validate you.

When you feel loved, you’re more likely to extend that love to others. You understand that everyone is deserving of love, and you show up with kindness, openness, and a desire to build meaningful connections.

When you know you're loved and accepted for who you are, it encourages personal growth. You no longer feel the need to hide parts of yourself or act in ways that aren’t true to your nature. You can embrace both your strengths and flaws, knowing they don’t diminish your worth. Feeling loved directly affects how you interact with others. It allows you to show up as your true self, fostering deeper, more genuine relationships.

You're less likely to seek approval or act out of insecurity because you’re already grounded in the love you’ve received. The feeling of being loved can also be a powerful motivator. When you know you are supported and cared for, you're more likely to take risks, pursue dreams, and show up in ways that align with your purpose.

This love serves as a foundation that empowers you to keep moving forward.

When you know how loved you are by God—it shapes your actions, your mindset, and your relationships. You live boldly and unapologetically.

His Love is a powerful force that impacts everything you do and how you perceive the world. You show up different when you are loved well. You walk different when you know how valued and treasured you are. 

Praying you would have a fresh baptism of the love of God today!
