Compliments, validation, and praise... Don't we all just love it? Nothing better to stroke our ego's than a few compliments or praise. Right? We can be self-seeking looking for validation. Why? What are we looking to gain? All those things are good, but when we only look to those things to esteem us they give us a false sense of security and esteem. They last for a moment. Sure we may remember the words, but what about the next time we need a little pep. Are we down, discouraged and out of sorts?
We have to be healthy in this area. We have to live balanced in the fact that compliments, and praise are all good however, we do not need them to validate our worth! We have purpose, value and we are cherished. Who or what are you looking to for validation in who you are as a woman? Do the compliments and praise sustain you? Does it last? Is it enough?
I hope that you are looking to Jesus Christ, the Creator and the Holy Spirit to confirm and validate who you are. Think on this awhile. I'll be back with part 2!
Blessings!
