not everyone will like you (be a light anyway!!)

✨ NEWS FLASH: not everyone is going to like you! and that's okay!!! Today I'm sharing encouragement for when we feel criticized, misunderstood, or rejected. We'll talk about rooting our identity in God instead of the approval of people, choosing kindness even when it isn't reciprocated, and remembering who we are truly called to serve.
