Selena Gomez, who recently overcame a life-threatening battle with lupus shared a letter she wrote to her younger self
“You already have faith but you have no idea what you have faith in,” Gomez said of herself at 15 years of age. “You are already being pursued by God who knit you together and called you His, but you still don’t know that this can be more than a nightly prayer, you don’t know that this will become the most important relationship, but just wait.
“You will feel like you lost everything but know that this is to gain the very things that He has for you, You will learn that your truest identity is loved and chosen, as the chosen daughter of God, Eight years later, you will be sitting in a service and everything within you will shift. The God that has been pursuing you all along will feel tangible. The Holy Spirit will speak louder than anything that has called for your attention.” She shared
The former child star admitted that fame cost her to miss out on a number of things and further stated that “On your 23rd birthday, Jesus will become real to you,” the Texas native testified. “More than a nightly prayer, more than the strength of your friends, more than the name in a devotional, He will become real.”
