About this ebook
One of the most common sources of insecurity is our tendency to be preoccupied with self. We are never more fragile than when we make ourselves the center of our story, because we will never live up to the expectations others have for us, to say nothing of the expectations we have for ourselves. But the answer to our problem is not as simple as shifting our focus. The freedom of self-forgetfulness is a sacred journey, and this book is your guide.
With all new content echoing the themes of her popular book Free of Me, author Sharon Hodde Miller leads you through a step-by-step process of turning away from self and toward God and others. During this 40-day journey, you will
· identify the wounds, assumptions, and scripts that keep you focused on self
· learn to recognize your true self
· break the bondage of self-focus to freely focus on God
If you long for a life where you are not preoccupied by self-improvement and wondering how you measure up, let this devotional show you the way to freedom.
