When we feel cynicism, we make a way for despair to creep into our lives. Cynicism is the loss of hope in others. It’s an inclination to believe that people are motivated purely by self-interest. In these excerpts from her book The Other Side of Hope, justice advocate Danielle Strickland exposes a critical belief that leads to cynicism and inspires us to break the cycle.

Every human being longs to be accepted. Every human being longs to live a life without filters, without having to check their worth. But unfortunately, not everyone has the joy of living as such.

Let's dive in.

Overcoming Rejection

Have you ever felt alone and persecuted? Perhaps had a hidden secret exposed to the light of day? The theme for these guided meditations is disclosure.  To find freedom and the mercy of God through the companionship of others. To not live life alone, but celebrate the freedom found in Christ and seeing others as Christ sees you. Finding companionship by showing mercy to the least of those around us.
