Our next self lie is “ I must have everyone’s love and approval”. This lie plays out in our life’s as we try to make everyone happy, becoming a social chameleon to fit every situation.
We bounce between two emotions anger and guilt. We get caught in a trap to either follow convictions and our own belief about ourselves or make others happy.
This lie played out for a long time can leave one asking the question who am I. The truth is some people are not going to like us no matter how hard we try or what we do to gain approval. Sometimes we are looking for praise from people rather than God. The most important thing is to know who you are in God and understand He accepts you and loves you deeply. Below is a scripture to hide in your heart to overcome this lie in our life.
John 12:43 For the praise of men was dearer to them than the approval of God.
Randomly,
Steve
