As a recovering people-pleaser, I can admit that it feels good to be affirmed, accepted, and appreciated.
And as a maturing woman, I’ve learned that GETTING affirmation, approval, and acceptance cannot be my motivation.
It’s too fleeting. People are too fickle.
And there’s more to life than what other people think of me – which is certainly prone to shift at any given moment.
So what’s the solution? There’s no quick fix, but trusting God and resting in HIS Word (and what He’s already said about me) is the starting point.
Meditating in His Word night and day.
Remembering that He changes not and loves me with an everlasting love.
So “like, share, and subscribe” if you choose (I appreciate it and enjoy connecting with like-minded folks).
But if you don’t, I cannot and will not let that shake me.
‘Cuz living for the likes of another imperfect and fallible human is no way to live the abundant life.
Blessings, Kayren
“3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.”
(Ephesians 1:3-6)
