Free From Opinions of People

[Christ's Free Servant]

Good morning and have a great day..

"IT MATTERS VERY LITTLE TO ME WHAT YOU THINK OF ME." 1 CORINTHIANS 4:3 TM

Free from the opinions of people

While we should respect the opinions of others, we should never be ruled by them. If you let it criticism will steal your individuality, rob you of your creativity, and stop you from fulfilling your destiny. That's too much power to give anybody. Insecure people will always criticize you, especially if your choices differ from theirs. That's because they're uncomfortable with things that don't conform to their way of thinking. Secure people can handle being the only one doing something. They can allow others the liberty to be different and to make their own choices. That's because they themselves are secure in who God has called them to be.

Listen: "[He] made himself of no reputation" (Php 2:7). Jesus obviously wasn't too concerned about what others thought of Him. He had a goal - to do the Father's will - no more and no less. And He knew that to do it He had to be free from the opinions of others. So do you! The greatest tragedy that could happen to you would be to grow old and realize that somewhere along the way you lost yourself and never succeeded at being the person God called you to be. And that's a distinct possibility if you allow the opinions of others to rule your life. Paul says, "It matters very little to me what you think of me, even less where I rank in popular opinion. I don't even rank myself...The Master makes that judgment" (1Co 4:3-5 TM). Today ask God to set you free from the opinions of other people.

Yes, there is "not caring," and then there is "not caring," and they can be two totally different things. We should care about people, and we should care how we come across, but we should not be so overly concerned about what people think about us that we live in bondage to fear of the opinions of people to the point to where we don't even know who we are and we never really are able to reach our full potential. I know, because I was one of those. The Lord has set me free, and I have been free for some time, but the old devil still likes to test me now and then and I, again, have to turn it over to the Lord and remind myself that the approval of Jesus is what really matters.
