Unhidden: Unmask Shame, Embrace Authority, and Lead Others to Christಮಾದರಿ

Day One | Seen and Safe – You Don’t Have to Hide Anymore

The first time shame entered humanity’s story, Adam and Eve ran from the very One who could restore them. Their sin caused them to hide behind fig leaves and fear. We’ve been doing the same thing ever since—covering up, performing, or withdrawing in silence.

But God never intended for us to live hidden. Psalm 139 reveals that He formed you, sees you, and surrounds you with His presence. Even in your darkest moment, He’s not surprised. Romans 8:1 declares there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. Jesus didn't die for your curated, perfect version. He died for the real you.

God met Adam and Eve in their hiding place, not with harsh judgment, but with a redemptive question: “Where are you?” That same question echoes through time to each of us today. God isn’t seeking your perfection; He’s after your presence. Shame tells you to run away, but grace invites you to draw near. Your vulnerability is not a liability—it’s a pathway to healing.

Hebrews 4 encourages us to approach the throne of grace with boldness, not fear. Why? Because Jesus—our High Priest—understands. He invites you to come vulnerable, unfiltered, and unhidden.

Living unhidden begins with believing that you are safe with God. When you finally show up as you are—wounded, weary, or weak—He doesn't reject you; He restores you. That’s where intimacy with God is born—in the honest, unfiltered moments. When you stop hiding, you give God access to heal what shame tried to bury. You don’t have to earn His love. You only need to receive it.

Your Action Step:
Today, spend 10 uninterrupted minutes journaling an honest letter to God. Tell Him the truth you've been afraid to say. Let this be the beginning of living unhidden before Him.

Pray This Prayer:
Lord, I’ve spent too much time hiding in shame and guilt. Today, I step out of hiding and into Your grace. Thank You for seeing me, loving me, and welcoming me. Help me stay in Your presence without fear. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

See you on Day Two.
