Most of all it took time in the Word of God. That's where I found out that...
I am saved by Grace. I am the head and not the tail. I am a child of the king. I am more than just a conqueror. I am redeemed. I am bought with a price. I am joint heirs with Jesus. And found out that God knew me when I was in my mothers womb, and He has a plan and a purpose for my life.
