TWO THINGS
Two things I think the Lord is pressing into in the past few days:
Firstly: Your identity is not based on whether people think good or bad things of you. Your identity is based on what God Himself thinks of you. If someone thinks well of you, it doesn't necessarily make you a good person. Conversely, if someone thinks ill of you, it does not necessarily make you a bad person. But what God thinks of you and knows of you is paramount and filled with truth. You are beloved. You are the anointed of the Lord. You are His child and heir. Your performance in front of others - good or poor - does not ever change these truths about who you are. Your true identity is based in God's view of you.
Secondly, the scripture from Jeremiah 29:13 that says, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Let's chase Him - He's ready to be caught.....
