Make God Your Source of Approval
An epidemic of insecurity is stealing the joy of life from many people in our society and causing major problems in their relationships. Insecurity can have many negative effects on peoples lives.
Those who are insecure, often seek the approval of others to try to overcome their feeling of rejection and low self-esteem. They are approval addicts.
When we struggle with insecurity, only one thing will set us free - God's truth. The truth is that we don't need to struggle to get from others what God freely gives us: love acceptance, approval, security, worth and value. All these things can be found in a personal relationship with our Heavenly Father, not in any person or thing.
He is our Refuge, our High Tower, our Strength, our Stronghold in times of trouble and our Hiding place (see Psalm 9:9, 31:4, 32:7, 46:11). Our work, values acceptance and approval come from He. As long as we have those, we have the most valuable things in the world.
As you look to Him, you will be lifted to new levels of freedom, becoming the confident, mature person you were created to be.
Look to God for you security. Focus on the truth - He is your refuge and strength. In Him alone, you can be completely confident. He is the giver of love and acceptance
Be blessed and be a blessing!
