Before building my relationship with God, I used to tiptoe around my and belief in Him. Fearing or being too worried that I could or would lose friends or people in my life. Their perception of me was much more important to me and the last thing I wanted to be seen was an outcast.
I put people before God and when I did that, my life was even more full of confusion, mess, and constant chaos. In a way...I lost all sense of who I was and what God's purpose was for me.
I was too busy worrying about what others thought of me, than what God thought of me. When I eventually changed my focus from what others thought of me to God... my world didn't seem so empty and crowded with people who truly did not care about me or respect my values and beliefs.
We live in a society that is constantly showing us ways to "include" everyone. While I don't necessarily disagree with that, I don't agree with excluding our Lord our God. While we are too busy trying to not offend anyone, we are being oblivious to the One whom we are offending the most. We live in a society that strives to avoid an possibility of offending anyone...except God.
I challenge you to stand firm, confident, and strong in your love and loyalty in God. Share and pass this on with a friend or family member who could benefit from this. <3
