Lord knows I’ve spent many years caged with fear of others’ opinions and attitudes. Becoming a devotional writer helps me to let go of those snares as I draw closer to Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emailing Ron for the first time after we met took a tremendous amount of faith. Waiting anxiously for his reply, I kept reminding myself, “God loves you, even if Ron rejects you. You have all you need in Jesus.” Psalm 118:8 became my prayer mantra:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “It is better to take refuge in the\u00a0Lord than to trust in man.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Found in the middle of the Bible, David’s words give me peace. Man will always let you down, but God never will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Live for the applause of nail-scarred hands, not the flawed thoughts of others. People create narratives; God reveals truth. Faith in the Creator brings proper security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n God’s unconditional love conquers all.<\/p>\n\n\n Lord, forgive us for worrying about what other people think of us more than what You think. Help us love ourselves as You intend, letting go of negative self-talk and replacing it with Your description of us. IJNIP. Amen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One minute read.
