Take a Moment: Devotion & Prayer From Pastor Batiste

Title: "Seen and Still Chosen"

As we begin this final week of the "Defined" series, start here: You are fully known—and fully loved. That means God sees it all. Every doubt, every weakness, every failure… and He still calls you His.

David wasn’t boasting about himself in Psalm 139. He was marveling at a God who searches us and still stays with us. You don’t have to perform for God. You don’t have to pretend. He knows the parts of you no one else does—and still calls you chosen.

There’s nothing more freeing than being known and still embraced.

Reflection: What would change if you stopped hiding and started healing in God's presence?

Prayer: God, thank You for knowing me deeply and still loving me completely. Help me to live unashamed in the identity You gave me. Amen.

"God doesn’t love the edited version of you—He loves the real you."
