Life has a way of piling things on us. Shame. Regret. Trauma. Fear. Depression. Anxiety. Addiction. Some of these things happened to us — pain that made us captives. Some of these things we brought on ourselves — choices that made us prisoners. Either way, we end up buried, weighed down, hidden under layers that keep us from living free.
But underneath it all is something the world didn’t put there — and the world can’t take away. The image of God. It’s who we really are, who we were created to be. Sin, shame, and suffering try to cover it up, but they can’t erase it.
This is why Jesus came. His message, His mission, was for the poor, the brokenhearted, the captives, and the prisoners. He came to set us free and uncover what’s been buried for too long. To renew our minds. To restore our hearts. To reconcile us with God. To resurrect the real us.
This isn’t just about becoming a “better person.” It’s about uncovering what was there from the start. The strength. The worth. The purpose. The faith. The image of God inside of us.
So let’s stop hiding. Let’s stop letting fear, guilt, and pain keep us buried. Let’s invite God into the process of peeling back the layers and uncovering what He planted deep within us. Because the masterpiece is still there — waiting to be revealed.
Let’s not wait to become. Let’s uncover it.
