Last weekend, I attended a men’s retreat with some industry friends in radio. I didn’t know the majority of them and spent the first day and a half figuring out my place, hiding in corners, and attempting at making connections built from introductions and small talk.
It wasn’t until the final night of worship where I finally got some peace to just be me without the accolades, expectations, posturing, and other layered masks that I drug with me to the beautiful, snow-covered mountains.
I felt God saying to me, “Kevin, I don’t want people to know you for what you’ve done or what you’ve accomplished. I want people to know ME through you.” And with that simple statement, I was able to drop my backpack overflowing with masks, relax, and just be me.
A son of God. Loved. Seen. Forgiven. Wanted.
This week, let God shine through you. If you’re anything like me, you’ve been letting yourself shine for far too long.
God wants a turn.
