Trust only in God...Lean not on Others or to Your Own Understanding Message by Rev. Renna
You and I know that It's great when people believe in us and cheer us on and make us feel valuable.
Face it, we love when our spouse compliments us or a friend is there to give encouragement or our co-worker stays late to help us on a project.
And I surely know that God uses people to help move us toward our destiny.
But here's the key. You can't become so dependent on people that you're getting your worth and value out of how they treat you.
It's easy to become addicted to compliments, addicted to encouragement, addicted to them cheering you on.
Now, you rely on them to keep you feeling good about yourself, to always be there to validate you, to make you feel approved.
Like a drug, if they don't keep you fixed, meet all your expectations, you get discouraged, feel inferior, work overtime to try to win their approval.
The problem is, you're trying to get from people what only God can give.
Your worth, your value, doesn't come from another person. It comes from your Creator, and if you rely on people you'll be disappointed.
