“BEWARE OF SEEING YOURSELF through other people’s eyes. There are several dangers to this practice. First of all, it is nearly impossible to discern what others actually think of you. Moreover, their views of you are variable: subject to each viewer’s spiritual, emotional, and physical condition. The major problem with letting others define you is that it borders on idolatry. Your concern to please others dampens your desire to please GOD, your Creator. It is much more real to see yourself through GOD’S eyes. The LORD’s gaze upon you is steady and sure, untainted by sin. Through GOD’S eyes you can see yourself as one who is deeply, eternally loved. Rest in GOD’S loving gaze, and you will receive deep Peace. Respond to The LORD’s loving Presence by worshiping GOD in spirit and in truth.”
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. HEBREWS 11 : 6
“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” JOHN 4 : 23 – 24
Prayer: Lord, help me to seek your approval above anyone else’s. Yours is the only one that matters and the more you mold me to look like Jesus, the more of a pleasing aroma I can be to others. May I rest in your loving gaze, receiving your deep peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
