If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

Isaiah 58:9-11

I give up feeling like an imposter. I embrace the opportunities that prove I have room to grow. I give up feeling unqualified. I embrace the risk of failure knowing in retrospective this will be a good learning moment. I give up feeling that I’ll be found out. If I live with integrity and from vulnerability and honesty, my character will stand. I give up giving others the power to make me feel smaller. That’s on me. Those are my projections. That would be self-fulfilling. When I feel out of place, because that will happen often in life, I pray that I don’t shrink and shut down, and instead remember I belong here, too.
