Summary

SummaryI’m Gabriel. For years I swallowed the lie that I just wasn’t enough—too short, too poor, too awkward. Childhood kick-ball snubs, an absent dad, and a parade of “No’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. 🙌❤️‍🔥

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 rejection—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 cope—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 others—it comes from the One who made you.

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