WHAT IT'S NOT ABOUT

had a challenging conversation with a friend last night that left me feeling quite inadequate and frustrated. this morning, i brought it to God and i realized that i'd been striving to impress the other person when really, that wasn't the point. a true friendship cannot be based on anything other than genuineness. so whether the other person sees me as less mature or considers me an equal, i can be at peace because there are no false pretenses.

i never really thought i'd be trying to impress others because i felt i was secure about myself, but i guess this morning God broke my pride again. i need to trust God more and myself less.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith...
~Hebrews 12:2~
