Dear Stacie,
As I think about the similarities of our lives and even personalities, I realize how blessed I am to have you in my life. God is so providential in the way that he places specific people in our lives on this earth.
A passage that has recently been placed on my heart as I deal with diffucult situations in my life is Galatians 1:10:
'For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to
please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a
bond-servant of Christ.'
I have been struggling to try and please people and be liked by everyone. This verse was shared as a reminder from a friend to not give yourself over to the approval of men. It can become so discouraging when those people do not give you the acceptance you desire and long for. It is natural to want to belong to something and someone. The key is to daily remind yourself that no one on this earth will fulfill that desire. God has placed that desire in your heart and only he will be able to completely fill it.
As you go through your daily routines of life this week remember this verse and ask yourself who you are choosing to serve.
