From Victim to Overcomer

Will you be who you truly are and give others the blessing of getting to know the truest version of you?

For years, I stood in the shadows of life, hiding behind my scars. At that time, they represented shame and heartache to me. I was afraid to be myself, so I created a different version of who I thought I needed to be.

I lived according to how I believed others expected me to live. I made decisions based on what I thought I should do rather than what my heart truly desired.

As I got older, God helped me change my perspective.

Sometimes, that’s all we really need, a shift in how we see our story.

For most of my life, I saw myself as a victim. The amniotic bands attacked me before I was born. I was defenseless. The damage to my body felt heartbreaking, and I grieved deeply for what I lost.

Then one day, a single realization changed everything.

I could have died.

In that moment, my mindset shifted from victim to survivor. Suddenly, I saw my life through new eyes. The scars I once wanted to hide became evidence of God’s grace. What once represented pain transformed into battle scars, proof that God spared my life.

For years, I believed God was punishing me.

But when my mindset changed, I realized something far different: I have favor with God. Every single day is a blessing. I was not spared by accident. I was spared with purpose.

Isaiah 43:7 KJV 7

Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

I am an overcomer through my precious Lord, and I want to live every day for Him.

God took time to create each of us uniquely. Our differences are not flaws—they are gifts. In the entire world, there will only ever be one you.

Nourish that uniqueness. Don’t hide it. Don’t shrink it.

Will you give the world the gift of getting to know the truest version of you?
