If You Only Knew: My Unlikely, Unavoidable Story of Becoming Free
What if you knew all the moments of my past that I
am not proud of? What if you really knew me, the
messy parts that I’ve hoped to forget and worked hard to conceal?
For so long, my greatest fear was what you might think of me if you
only knew the whole story.
It’s exhausting, this guarding of our stories and struggles. Fear
of being found out had caused me to hide—but I wasn’t just covering
my flaws, I was unintentionally blocking the beauty of God’s grace.
My journey to real freedom began when I quit running from my mess
and started trusting Jesus to make something beautiful of
it.
This book is that story. It’s stepping out of shame and insecurity
into gospel freedom. It’s letting God turn our failures and
frailties into testimonies of His faithfulness. I’ve discovered
that when we quit hiding, God gets the glory and we are able to
fully embrace not only our relationship with Him, but also with one
another.
Transparency brings freedom, and in every moment, we'll find that
God can absolutely be trusted.
