The good news is that our heavenly Father loves us, and because of that, we don’t have to seek love (or even “likes”) from anyone else. If we feel gripped by the draw of receiving attention and approval from others, He wants to break us free from that stranglehold on our hearts. He wants us to find our worth in Him. And when we rest in that, we find our fulfillment in Him and nothing else.
Father, I’m tired of carrying this weight You never created me to bear. I want real, authentic relationships in my life. I am tired of trying to be someone I can’t be. I want my heart grounded in real love, not in the desire to be admired by others. I want to be loved for who I am, and to love others for who they are. Please help me understand Your truth and how the truth of who You are can change my heart. Thank You for loving me unconditionally. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
