Layla's Story
MEET LAYLA,
For a long time, Layla tried to feel important by getting attention from friends, approval from adults, and caring too much about what others thought of her. But no matter what she did, it never felt like enough.
Then something changed. Layla learned that her worth didn’t come from other people—it came from God, who made her and loves her.
Now, Layla is becoming stronger. She’s letting go of her old ways and choosing a better path. She’s learning to follow God and believe in her true worth, even when it’s not easy.
Because now, she’s found what she was really looking for.
