“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 The LORD’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 GOD’S loving Presence by worshiping HIM in spirit and in truth.”
Scripture
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
Prayer: Lord, help me not to measure my worth by what others think of me and find my identity in Your truth. Remind me that I am deeply loved by You, and give me the peace to live to please You rather than seeking others approval. Keep my heart focused on You and grounded in Your Word. Amen.
