It’s not always about you so stop making “you” the issue. Take your eyes off of people and keep your eyes on Jesus and allow Him to build up your self-esteem and confidence. And be aware that when you rely upon God and not yourself people still will not like you. Again, it’s not even about you. Your confidence is intimidating. You’re no longer apart of the clone of people who are trying to fit in and be like everyone else. You’re different! You’re unique! That’s how you’re supposed to be because God created no one quite the way you are. And realize when you hide who you are to please others you’re limiting God’s power and ability in your life.
The path God has you on can be so lonely at times; but know that it’s all working together for your good.
Praise the Lord; thanks for your words of encouragement!
