Seeing Yourself the Right Way
Gal: 1:6-10
So many of us have made it our life’s work to change someone else’s opinion of us. We are determined to prove to them that we are valuable. Now, you can’t be like the person who quipped “I like talking to myself because I like dealing with a better class of people”. But neither can you base your worth on the opinion of those who put you down. Until you quit agreeing with those who have mistreated you, or bowing to the events that crippled you emotionally, you will remain locked in a prison of your own making. When your critic’s opinion becomes your opinion, you have built a prison inside your soul with only one prisoner; you! Are you prepared to accept that some of the people you’ve spent your life trying to impress may never be impressed? And can you accept that from God’s perspective; it doesn’t matter? To succeed in life, you must be able to work alongside people without allowing yourself to be controlled by their moods or governed by their opinions.
Point of Emphasis: Am I now trying to win the approval of man or God?
Prayer Point: Lord, endow me with the grace to be focused on You.
