We. are the ones we are waiting for

Kareem Manuel on the Power of We.

Searching out answers to the more profound questions about life, about ourselves, about the world around us, is essential to living.

I think one lie is that my worth is wrapped up in my performance—whether my performance is my worth or that my worth with other people is based on my performance. In many cases, that’s just pragmatic. It’s kind of like, if I do something awesome, people love me for it and they give me attention. That is why kids love to perform for their parents. Because their parents will clap and then say, “Good job.” So, feeling like your worth is wrapped up in your performance is a lie I’m tempted to believe. Whether or not I know it’s true or whether or not I know it’s a lie doesn’t make a difference because I'm still tempted to believe it regardless.

And then that carries over into my faith where I feel like if I’m not doing something that God really wants, then somehow I’m worth less to Him. Or if I’ve made a mistake, or fallen, or I've sinned, that somehow my worth to God is decreased. And that’s the lie I'm most tempted to believe. And I do believe it sometimes.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
