No Defense Needed
Chosen by God!
“Every word of God will be put to the test and proven true; He is a defense for those who trust in Him.” (Proverbs 30:5 The Voice)
You know, it's always the squeaky wheel that gets the attention! Sometimes we forget the positive and obsess on the negative. The more attention we give them the more they crave.
It has taken time, but I've learned I don't have to respond to every negative thing that's said about me! It's not easy but for me, it's no longer necessary!
When faced with the negativity, accusations, criticism, and just plain meanness I choose to:
"Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." (Philippians 4:8b NLT)
I give it to God, He’s my defense, then I can relax. Life is too short to be concerned with things I can't change. People are going to think what they think and say what they say. I know who I am and what others say doesn't change that.
I AM:
Accepted in the Beloved!
Favored by God!
Forgiven!
Loved!
His Masterpiece!
Chosen by God!
Treasured!
Fearfully and wonderfully made!
And so much more!
Be Encouraged! ❤
