Opinions

I’ve always considered myself a people pleaser. I genuinely care if someone likes me or not.

We look at others from the outside but God looks at the heart.

Social media has heightened the awareness of opinions. Just because someone posts a statement or shares a political post, others will make an opinion about that person. I don’t think this is fair, because we don’t know their full story.

For example, what would you think of me if I posted or shared something political, whether it was something you agreed with or not? Would you unfollow me?

We can all make our own choices in life, and we should have a voice in society. But, it’s when that opinion causes you to not like the other person or causes strife, hatred and sometimes even racism. This is a problem.

I do care that others like me, but I don’t try to persuade them to like me, or agree with something that I don’t believe in.

There’s only one person in the world whose opinion matters to me, and that’s God’s.

God sees my heart. He knows if I’m honest with my actions or opinions.

Choose life with God. The only opinion that matters in this life.

Psalm 118:8 - “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans.”
