Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading this podcast. I believe God has

amazing things in your future. I hope you enjoy this message.

I'm so grateful today that God calls us just the way we are. He doesn't call us when we're

perfect when we've got ourselves looking good, when we're just like we think we should be.

God calls each and every one of us just the way we are. And when he calls us, he calls us from that

place of love and commitment to us. You know, it would be so freeing to live a life where you

felt like everybody loved you, wouldn't it? It'd be like you'd be so free from thinking of saying

the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing. You would be so free to live out of a place of abundance,

not judgment. You know, it's interesting. I don't know if lately people get so uptight about things

because of Instagram and Facebook. You know, it's interesting because the way we present ourselves

is so important. I mean, they've got filters to make things look better. We've got apps to give us

the right curves. We've got things to make our eyes more green or more blue. I mean, we present

ourselves so that we can have the approval of other people. You know, you can get caught up in all

that. Can I tell you this though? God doesn't need you to put a filter on your life. He doesn't need

you to download an app to make yourself look better. God likes you. He loves you just the way you are.

Live in the freedom that God loves you unconditionally. You see, if we'll build our life on this

foundation each and every day, if we'll get up and we'll truly say, God, I'm not going to condemn myself.

I don't believe you're condemning me. I believe that you love me with an everlasting love. I'm going

to go out those doors, being my very best today, honoring you, knowing that I'm not perfect, but you are.

And that there's nothing you can't do through me. I believe when we live our life like that,

we'll be steady. We'll be strong. You see, sometimes we fall into the thinking that God loves us

according to our performance. If we do everything right, then God will love us. But that is not true.
