Do you suffer from delusions of grandeur?

We’ve all been there – thinking we were all that and a bag of chips…only to discover that there were other chips that out-chipped us.

It can be a crushing blow if you think that moment is the end-all, be-all. But if you take it for what it’s worth and desire to learn from that moment, it can be pivotal, instructive, and corrective. 

A well-placed lesson learned can catapult your trajectory to your next level of growth and maturity.

I understand what it’s like to feel like, “Awww, they gunning for me/they’re targeting me/they’re against me” in a hyper-sensitive way.

(I used to live in that space of my feelings – it leaves you feeling either vulnerable or like a victim…neither of which are true for a child of God who has access to victory through Jesus).

Instead, we can take the feedback objectively, and choose to make an adjustment, or reject it as we consider the source (they may NOT be a credible witness, they could be a distraction, or they could be dealing with their own “stuff” and not considering the impact of their response on you).

Or they may have a valid point. <gasp!>🫢😑

Allow God to show you the truth.

Then adjust or respond accordingly. And sometimes, that’s no verbal response at all…

Blessings, Kayren

“1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

2 A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.

3 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.”

(Proverbs 12:1-3)
