When we were young, it’s so easy to be true to ourselves, to choose between yes or no. Life was so simpler back then, less worries to handle. But once you get older, there are so many things you need to put into consideration. It’s quite tough to answer directly. You always need to weight a lot of things before making a final decision.

As we consider the feelings and opinions of other people, we sometimes have to forget about ourselves. There are also instances wherein we really must sacrifice. But when we are alone and having a private moment with our Heavenly Father, we can be transparent. Because we know that we will not be judged and he understands us. We never have to hide in a mask. We already know that we are accepted and loved from the start.

GOD desires for us to be true to ourselves and not to compromise just to fit in. He knows us thoroughly. In his presence, we never have to be an “in between” or a “maybe” just to be acknowledged or to fit in. In HIM, we have freedom to be who he created us to be in the first place.
