Refusal 1: I refuse to be a stranger to myself

July 26th,2026 Categories: Sunday Sermon, The Rev. Douša's Sermons

🌾 There comes a moment when the soul grows tired of pretending.

Tired of carrying names that were never yours. 🪨
Tired of wearing armor that was only meant for survival. 🛡️
Tired of mistaking the mask for the mirror. 🪞

Then, in the stillness… 🤍

The God Hagar called El Roi whispers, “I have seen you all along.” 👁️✨

The One who has searched you and known you…
The One who has never confused your wounds with your identity. ❤️

✨ I refuse to be a stranger to myself. ✨

Look again. 👀
Stay in God’s gaze until you recognize the person God has always recognized:

Beloved. 💛
