If they form their opinion about you without knowing the facts, their opinion doesn’t matter. On the other hand, if they form their opinion about you while knowing the facts…their opinion still doesn’t matter. π
Let’s talk about God’s opinion. That is the one that matters.
Here is a tiny glimpse into how highly He thinks of us: He loves us so much that He sent His son to die for us. He loves us so much that He redeems us, restores us, and renews us. He loves us so much that He gave us unique gifts, personalities, and stories to share with the world.
We can rest knowing that is His opinion of us!
But alsoβ¦ let’s not rest so well that we are content to say, “This is just who I am,” because God gives us daily opportunities to evolve into the person He created us to be.
“God loves you just the way you are, but He refuses to leave you that way. He wants you to be just like Jesus.” Max Lucado
I have two challenges for myself and you!
1. Let’s not allow anyone’s opinion of us to affect our attitude.
2. Let’s obey God as He lovingly shapes us to become more like Christ.
Here is a new phrase I’m going to embrace, and I invite you to embrace it, too: “You can think what you want about me. I’m over here doing my best to become all God created me to be.”
Have a great day, Friends!
