Finding Approval in People.

I think we all do it. We have that one person we like or have ‘favor’ towards and your searching your Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat to see if they liked it or saw it, somehow when they haven’t seem to have like it yet, you feel less about yourself.

Maybe it’s just me or the people around me but I find my sister, friends, and of course myself doing it and when you start to realize a pattern in that, you start to think why? What’s wrong with me? Do you not like my humor? Do you not like me? WHY DON’T YOU LIKE ME?!

We live in a world where we try to find people’s approval and it’s honestly going to get us nowhere. Why are we searching for our value and worth in a thumbs up of another person? Being Christian it’s really unhealthy to search for that source of completeness in oneself when we have a Father that calls us so precious and loves us so much with the power of a million thumbs up blasting at you every second. I pray for me and for those who struggle with this to really feel the vastness of His love 24/7, to understand that he’s always present, that our security would come from Him alone who is above all things, and we would be free from our bindings to a blue thumbs up.
