I missed the majority of the message in church on sunday but in small group we discussed it and it boiled down to one sentence" God's love changes us". This statement is soo true. After we realized we are loved beyond mesure we don't seek approval from man anymore. Or at least, that's the goal...Today I was talking with my bffl about being teased in the 7th grade and how that affected my confidence as I got older. And how it affects my confidence now when I see the people who teased me. She urged me to use this opportunity as one to bring glory to God. Which is easier said than done, but because I know God loves me no matter what and I don't need approval from man, its A LOT easier to show these people love.But when I think about how I was afraid to go to school in fear of being teased I think about how God has changed me and how he was protecting me during those times. Even when I didn't know he was around. It's crazy becasue you hear about so many teens committing suicide and need I mention Colombine...due to teasing. I hope when I have children I can protect them from this type of teasing.
In Christ,
Friend of God
