Summary

SummaryI’m Gabriel. For years I swallowed the lie that I just wasn’t enoughβ€”too short, too poor, too awkward. Childhood kick-ball snubs, an absent dad, and a parade of β€œNo’s” from girls cemented a core belief of rejection. I hid behind video games and humor, numbed the pain with porn and substances, and even skipped prom in fear. Then God interrupted my spiral. Through the Re:generation recovery program and countless quiet moments with Jesus, He peeled back layers of shame, showed me I was perfectly loved, and taught me to enjoy the man He created. Today I’m engaged, free from addictive coping, and walking tall in Christ-given worth. πŸ™Œβ€οΈβ€πŸ”₯

Gabriel spent most of his life feeling like he wasn’t enough.

In this honest and raw testimony, he opens up about growing up with deep feelings of rejectionβ€”from his parents, from women, and from the world around him. He was told he wasn’t tall enough, good enough, or worthy enough. So he learned to copeβ€”by hiding, striving, and numbing the pain.

But in the middle of all that brokenness, God met him.

This is a story about healing from rejection, learning to be loved, and discovering that your worth doesn’t come from othersβ€”it comes from the One who made you.

If you’ve ever felt unseen or not good enough, this story is for you.
