IMPOSTER AND TRUE SELF IN THE EYES OF GRACE
"The imposter is the false self—the self that we present to the world to be accepted, respected, and loved. It is driven by fear: fear of being exposed, fear of failure, fear of rejection."
"The imposter craves attention, recognition, and praise. It is a parasite that feeds on the opinions of others, and because it is fundamentally empty, it can never get enough."
"When we mistake the imposter for our true self, we spend our lives decorating a mask instead of letting our true face be seen by God."
BUT
The True Self is not a version of you that has it all together; it is simply the version of you that accepts being loved by God exactly as you are right now.
"Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion."
"Our true self is the person we are in reality before God—flawed, broken, yet radically loved. The true self does not need to perform, pretend, or prove anything, because its identity is completely rooted in the unshakeable affection of God."
"The true self is content to be small, to be weak, to be human, because it knows that God's power is made perfect in weakness."
