“What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.” (Luke 12:3)
Authenticity is how we show up for ourselves around everyone and everywhere we go. Moving forward, we will respond to what God expects of us, not people. Brene Brown wrote, “Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are. Authenticity demands Wholehearted living and loving—even when it’s hard, even when we’re wrestling with the shame and fear of not being good enough, and especially when the joy is so intense that we’re afraid to let ourselves feel it.” Spurgeon addresses authenticity when we are alone, “Never try to be what you are not. Never do what you are ashamed of; it doesn’t matter if no one sees. Think always that God sees, and with God for a witness you have enough observers. Only do in secret what you would have done if all eyes were fixed on you, and you were observed even by your most cruel critics…What God's Holy Spirit tells you, do.” Finally, trust God to just be yourself. Now exhale! GiGi❤️
