In all of these seasons, my insecurities, fears, and wrong paradigms of God and myself were clearly manifested in me and to others. I have walked through times when I came face to face with my own brokenness, weakness, and sin. On such occasions, feeling completely naked and ashamed, I’ve heard God say to me out of His great grace, mercy, and love, “You are My son in whom I’m well pleased.” This is what the wilderness looks like.
