Expectations

You don't have to be perfect.

Pressure from family, work, or social media can make you feel like you're never enough. Trying to meet everyone's expectations is exhausting.

“People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)

God sees your heart, not just your performance. You can let go of the need to impress and simply be who you are: loved, and enough.
