I have also learned the hard way, it is not what other’s say about me that matters, yet a part of me yearns to be praised and noticed by others. This devotional helped me so very much and I have missed you ladies, I got a job, that I could not mentally handle. I am in the middle of PTSD therapy and I was dealing with death calls, calling the on call nurses and doctors and funeral homes, way too much. So I am once again looking for work compatible with the talents that God has so very graciously given me. I only need to be praised and noticed by God. What really matters is one day I hear: You did well Lisa by Jesus. I need help in that area, it begins today right now I live for Jesus and what he created me to be, not what the world demands of me, only in what God wants me to be. Love all sisters n christ Lisa N>

Bless you Chris for your response for it lifted the weight that lies on my heart. I too struggle with what others think about me and my weight, like you I just need to get to the part to know that JESUS excepts me just the way I am. Thanks for sharing your story.As you said and so very true, GODS WILL NOT MINE BE DONE AMEN !!!!!

All of us have that innate desire for approval and so often mine stretches to try to please other people instead of God.
My prayer is that I find God’s approval all I need in my day to day life and other peoples approval just added to God’s approval and not a continual need. Annie

I have learned the hard way, to not listen to what others say about me. I have had a problem with my weight for more then 30 years and many people have said rude things to me about me. But in the last 5 years I have lost more then 100lbs, and am still lossing. Even thou these remarks do hurt, I know that JESUS excepts me just the way I am everyday of my life. The people who say these rude things don’t know the inner me and don’t know my personnality. They are in need of my prayers and my pity because I releise that they are not following in GOD footsteps. Even though words do hurt I turn what ever is said to me about the way I look over to GOD and ask him to forgive these people. I ask HIM to guide me in knowing I am a child of his and am above what others are saying about me.
I thank GOD everyday for guiding me and my selfesteem and pray that those who are craul fimd Him in their lives and are able to realize that they are in the wrong.
GODS WILL NOT MINE BE DONE AMEN
