What people think of me is not my problem - in fact, it is their problem!
As long as i have got the approval of God, I am free to be the person that I want to be and do the things that i want to do - and safely ignore people's perceptions and opinions.
I am beginning to realize the amazing amount of freedom I have when I let God (rather than the world) define my self-worth, value and identity.
For the world, performance is a criteria for acceptance - but for God, honesty is.
As long as I am honest with God about everything and I am willing to work with him to become the person that he wants me to be, I have freed myself from the jail of 'what will people think about me'!
In the end, God has created me to live for him - he did not create me to live for the world!
