Life is full of challenges, and the journey to become the best version of ourselves is covered with obstacles. Yet, this journey can be better when we invite God into our lives. Understanding and embracing our relationship with God helps us overcome difficulties and develop personal growth. The book “You Cannot Cancel God” by Cameron Lorenc explores how creating a view of our better selves, recognizing our strengths, and engaging in service can lead to a fulfilling life, particularly when supported by a connection to religion.

Becoming better starts with imagining who we want to be. Imagine seeing yourself as God sees you, imperfect yet full of potential. It isn’t just a good exercise; it’s about understanding our true worth. As he describes in his book, God’s perspective on us is unwavering and filled with love, regardless of our faults. This divine vision helps us set higher goals and strive for improvement.

When we see ourselves through God’s eyes, we begin to focus on our strengths rather than our insecurities. Just as we cherish our loved ones despite their flaws, God cherishes us. This divine love and support can be incredibly motivating. By viewing ourselves through God’s eyes, we can adopt a more positive and empowering image, paving the way for growth.

Everyone has unique strengths, which we become heirs to as gifts from God. Recognizing and nurturing these strengths is crucial for personal growth. Often, we spend too much time fixing our weaknesses, feeling inadequate because we think we missed out on some talents or gifts. However, as the popular Clifton Strengths Assessment shows, everyone has different strengths, and that’s what makes us unique.
