Marquis Dycus
Book DescriptionBefore the world told you who you were, Heavenly Father already knew you.We live in a world filled with labels. Successful. Failure. Popular. Forgotten. Strong. Weak. Worthy. Unworthy. Some labels come from other people, some from our circumstances, and others are created by the mistakes and experiences we struggle to leave behind. But none of them tell the complete story of who we are.In Before the Label: We Are Children of Heavenly Father, Marquis Dycus returns to the message of his original Before the Label: The Human Being Behind Every Identity and takes it one step deeper. If there is a human being behind every label, then who are we beneath them all?We are children of Heavenly Father.Through reflections on faith, Jesus Christ, divine identity, repentance, forgiveness, trials, covenants, and becoming, Dycus explores what happens when we stop allowing the world to determine our worth and begin seeing ourselves-and one another-through a more eternal perspective.This book is for anyone who has ever felt defined by a mistake, misunderstood by others, trapped by the past, forgotten during a difficult season, or uncertain about who they are becoming. It is a reminder that your accomplishments do not create your worth, your failures do not erase it, and your hardest chapter does not have to become your final chapter.You are still growing. You are still becoming. Your story is still being written.Before your accomplishments, before your failures, before your reputation, before somebody decided who they thought you were, and before the world placed its labels upon you-you were a child of Heavenly Father.And you still are.
