When everything looks peaceful. Don’t worry. You are not alone.

Sometimes this is what we see when we look around us.  It appears as if everyone is surrounded by beauty and sunshine, while peacefully enjoying life.

What we need to remember, however, is this…

Inside, we all battle our own demons.

Exhaustion?

Addictions?

Failing marriage?

Financial?

Self Esteem?

Abuse?

Body Image?

Loneliness?

Abandonment?

Worthiness?

Love?

Security?

Heath?

Infertility?

The list goes on.

The list is long.

Therefore, I want to encourage you.

Don’t be afraid to not look perfect.  Don’t be afraid to not look peaceful.

Life is not perfect.  Life is not always peaceful.  And, I hate to break it to you, neither are you.  But, surprise!  Neither are those that surround you.

Good news, though, God says, “Never will I leave you.  Never will I forsake you.”

So, today, instead of working on looking perfect, work on being real.

Because “Real” equals “You”

And that’s who we want to know.
