It's time to stop being concerned about what "they" say and think of you - and instead focus on and start believing what "He" says about you (Galatians1:10). You know what I'm talking about, the faceless crowd of "they" that hold you back day by day. The ones that make you conservative, careful, quiet, timid and want you to live in their confines of their control. Jesus never made you to live as someone else's puppet, play thing or doormat. He came to bring you true freedom. He says "be careful for nothing" and "All things are possible to them that believe". He wants you to have freedom to think for yourself, see for yourself, understand for yourself with clarity and purpose given to you by God Himself (Acts 2:17). God wants to deal with you directly as an extremely valuable Son and Daughter of His Kingdom. He doesn't want to or need to go through a proxy to reach you. The veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom when Jesus died to give you direct access to the Father.
Now ANYONE can come. ALL are welcome and invited. He wants you to live without fear - of anyone or anything. He knows you inside and out and loves you deeply. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). There is no respect of persons with God so why do we elevate and hold so much weight on the opinions of others? God loves you. Concern yourself with His truth about you. He says "I have great plans for you and I love you" (Jeremiah 29:11) So be you today - not someone else's version of you. And if you're not sure who or what that is - great news! God will reveal it to you if you seek and ask it of Him (James 1:5). If you've messed up, simply ask for forgiveness and Jesus promises to forgive completely and instantly every time ! (1 John 1:9). Then get back up on that horse and ride on in freedom and love. You're worth too much to stay a product of lies, envy and hatred. You are precious in your Heavenly Fathers eyes and full of amazing purpose, love life and potential. All He needs you to do is take His hand and follow Him, just like He did to the disciple He passed by in the marketplace. Just like the thief on the cross. Just like the woman at the well. He still seeks disciples of His Kingdom. He still sets captives free today. He wants you to be a bold, confident true and unafraid shining light of God's truth, hope, love and mercy. God is love. So today, instead of listening to the "they" - listen to Love. "They" are a cage but HE is the key to true freedom. God loves you.
[ Galatians 5:1 - So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law. ]
