Even as little babies we begin to create a desire to be accepted by those around us. If we would look closely at ourselves we should see that our socialization is built by picking up on cues of those who we have in our minds as desiring to please. We then often adjust our actions and behaviors to respond accordingly. What though are we doing if we are always looking at other people to recognize our self-worth- Do you think it a sound decision to seek that you are validated by the opinions of other people around you- Is it safe to look take people-s opinions to build your self-worth- No, and I hope you will see this. I hope you know that the popular opinion of people today changes with the wind. If that is how you-re developing you own self-worth then you are acting as do many today, who say what they think you want to hear in order to win your approval. Even though yesterday they may have said they stood for the exact opposite. When we live in this way we are setting ourselves up for a lot of pain and disappointment. Not so long ago we looked at how easy it was to create idols in our lives. Well when we look at popularity as the means to our happiness we are going down that road towards idolatry. See we must look wholly to God to find our personal worth because if we are looking elsewhere for it we have an idol in the making, and that means it is time to smash it. Knock it down tear it up, smash it to peace-s.
