What's up, what's up? Incredible, loved and valued people. I am so grateful for who you are.

Aren't you so grateful that the Lord has made all of us so uniquely, yet all for the purpose of knowing him and bringing great

glory to him. There's this quote from the, oh, I'm going to miss, I'm going to mispronounce it.

I think it's the Westminster Catechism, but it says, what is man's, like, chief aim, like our greatest purpose?

It is to glorify God and enjoy him forever.

And how sweet is it that as God has made us in his image all uniquely, we all get to do that

through the beautiful ways that he has made us.

I've just been thinking so much on that lately as I've been getting to be a mom in this season that I'm in with my daughter.

Her personality has been coming out so much lately, and I have just delighted in seeing even more who the Lord has handcrafted

her to be. And I'm so honored that I get to foster the personality and the wiring that he's put in her,

for her to uniquely and purposefully enjoy him and glorify him forever. And friend,

the Lord purposely made you to do that as well. I don't even know if I introduced myself

and said, welcome to the compelled podcast. But guys, welcome. I'm Emma. And that's really what I

wanted to hone in on today as we are talking about being bold in our faith.

Being bold is something that I think a lot of us can disqualify ourselves from or we can count

ourselves out of because we think I don't have the personality of boldness.

I don't have the big personality.

I'm not loud. I'm not extroverted. I don't have the big personality. I'm not loud. I'm not extroverted.

I don't have the certain giftings that put me out in front of people. And for different reasons, we consider ourselves to not be put in the category of bold, but the Lord uniquely made you

in his image to be bold in him.

Boldness does not come in one form and fashion, but boldness comes from being a child of God.

The righteous are as bold as a lion.
