Looking for this?


I'm serious - we are all busy trying to figure out how we can be worth something. I swear - just about everything we do is a way to make us feel like we matter - to make people take us seriously and have people pay attention to us. If you think about the things we strive for - success, good looks, possessions, popularity, righteousness - they are things that allow us to compare ourselves to others and come out on top.

What makes me either the same as you or different from you is that I believe that what we are looking for is the love that comes from God the Father. When he loves you and you know it, you don't care as much what other people think about you. You do things because of who you are, rather than because of who you're not. You're not trying to make up for something. You're just being who you are because you know that since He loves you, you must not be that bad.
