Share without erasing yourself

Sometimes, to fit in, you hide too much: your history, your accent, your talents, your questions, or your way of seeing the world. It seems easier not to draw attention. But a healthy community does not ask everyone to be a carbon copy. It genuinely integrates when it receives the good each person brings and also helps guide what needs to grow. God did not make you to live dissolved in the crowd. He gave you specific gifts to share with humility.
