Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

(Galatians 1:10, NIV)

Guard Your Sense of Value

If somebody did you wrong, rather than internalize it and wonder if there is something wrong with you, have you ever thought that they hurt you because they were messed up? Maybe they felt so badly about themselves, so unlovable, that they tried to project it onto you. How they are treating you flows from their own insecurities, fears, hurts, wounds, prejudices, and dysfunctions. Hurting people end up hurting other people. Messed-up people can mess you up. If you base your value on what they’re giving you, you can end up dysfunctional.

Don’t let what others say about you define who you are. Don’t let what you didn’t get from them make you feel as though you’re to blame. Quit letting how people treat you make you feel inferior. You have to go to your heavenly Father. They’re not your Savior. You already have a Savior. He’s on the throne. Go to Him and not to people. And pour out all your worries of this world to His feet and God of Haven – JESUS CHRIST will deliver and change your situation is happiness and joy.

Prayer

“Father, thank You that I can come to You for all the approval and love that I need to live securely. Help me recognize that hurting people hurt others and guard my sense of value when I come under attack. Thank You for being my Savior. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

My mother, my father and my sisters are those who do the will of the Father... Jesus said when people were telling Him that relatives were there waiting. To please God above all things before pleasing people is the duty of everyon who loves the Lord. Do not throw your pearls to the swine, let Jesus work on them and then give all the glory and honor to God. It is Him who do the changing of heart. It is Jesus who saves lost souls.
