there's a scripture that single handidly freed me from focusing on "the approval" of others' and myself, fr.

the scripture is: "Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? or am I trying to please people? If I were trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ." - Galatians 1:10

and to this day, reading that scripture still shakes me to my core and gets me right bc, we can so easily teter the fence of honoring God and people pleasing bc have a good heart in trying to hold space and love on ppl, or if we create content - trying to curate and post the perfect video, thread or pictures "dumps".

I can speak to this, bc i too have been guilty of this but if and when i've find myself in the space of operating in this way, this scripture plays in my head and i'm able to reel it in, bc when you're in close proxmity to God - you can tell when you're trippin'. lol. and that's the beauty of being in relation with him and having community that can hold you accountable as you navigate this.

reflection: so, what are you trying to prove and to who? and why? when what our focus should be is essentially doing everything onto the Lord, not for selfish-ambition of for the approval of others'.

With Love,
