God's Love not Other People's Opinions

Lysa Terkeurst in her book, Becoming More than a Good Bible Study Girl, says she has learned "how crucial it is to let God's love, not others' opinions, be the truth out of which I operate." (page 83)

Which truth will you operate out of today? What truth will guide your life and daily decisions?
There is the truth, validity of other people's opinions, that change with the wind and the people that surround you. So-and-so said this, but so-and-so thinks this. BUT GOD, as they say...
What God says about you is truth, and it does not change.

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadow." [James 1:17]
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." [Hebrews 13:8]

Thank God we have the assurance that if we obey Him, "God's love is truly made complete" in us. [I John 2:5] Let His love rule in your heart today, not opinion.

  1. I was just writing to a friend about this! Why is it so hard?! The creator of all things loves us just the way we are - and yet we are constantly troubled with pleasing those around us. Love you Dix!
