Remember high school ? I was not one of the popular crowd I had my friends ,but, they were not in the' in group". Sometime (OK, a lot) we got picked on even tormented by the "popular ones" . Mum and Dad always told me to just ignore them they'll go away. It never worked. They could be a constant reminder of what you did not like about yourself or they could totally kill your self confidence and reduce you to wondering who you really were. And best of all in the hopes of being on the "in crowd" those around you would join in.
Just because I've grown to be a 40 year old woman I have to say I still fall prey to these people. And if they don't bother me they bother my family. The really sad part is many of them call themselves children of God. Those are the ones who hurt the most. Then you have the ones who follow their lead in hopes of acceptance from them not God Himself. Why do we let people so effect us to the point of forgetting who we are in Christ! God gave me some great verses:
Isaiah 51 v 12-13 NLT
v12 "I,yes,I,am the one who comforts you. So why are you afraid of mere humans,who wither like the grass and disappear?
v13"Yet you have forgotten the Lord,your creator,the one who stretched out the sky like a canopy and laid the foundations of the earth. Will you remain in constant dread of human oppressors? Will you continue to fear the anger of your enemies? Where is there fury and anger know ? It is gone!
I will strive to no longer listen ,but, rest in my Lord. Sometimes these are just people from the past that your memory brings to mind and the hurt flows again. It is gone! Let our heavenly Father comfort you. He will take care of the rest! Satan would love to continue to use these others to destroy you and make you a heap of usefulness and defeat you ! But our God is so Big so Strong and so Mighty! Let Him handle them and comfort you ! Then you just be who our loving creator made you to be!
Be all God has made you to be you are the apple of His eye!
Love ya chicks
