None of my Business
What other people think of me is none of my business. -Eleanor Roosevelt
I stumbled upon this quote today while reading Brandi Wilson's blog, "none of my beeswax..." and I absolutely love it. The more I thought on it, certain scriptures came to my mind.
"Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe." Proverbs 25:29 NIV
"The fear of human opinion disables; trusting in GOD protects you from that." Proverbs 25:29 MSG
When we consume ourselves with the opinions others have of us, it can pull us down or put us on an emotional rollercoaster. For example: when the people around us have positive oppinions, we are up; when people have negative opinions or negative words to speak about us we are down.
I want to encourage those of you that are reading this to focus on the Lord and what He has to say about you. The Lord knows you and the desires that He has placed within you. There are going to be encouraging people that God places in our lives and there will inevitably be those that are out to hurt. Remember -- hurting people, hurt people. The Lord wants to speak life into you today - get in His Word and let Him.
