I just stumbled on your blog and this is such a great post! I am an inspirational speaker that speaks to youth (mostly) on topics of purity and purpose. Much needed lessons here!

I read this yesterday and had a breakthrough! I had been feeling insecure about a couple things and I just couldn’t understand why. This makes sense and put light on the areas where I had made idols without realizing it! I was working so hard at accomplishing something I had make it my idol. My unguarded strength is my biggest weakness. I have to really think about time being an idol….deep. 🙂 Thank you so much!

In reply to Anonymous. Thanks, sweet friend. I've missed "seeing" you! You are right, the only true contentment comes from resting in and trusting Him. Hugs.

In reply to Janelle@GraceTags. I can imagine that would be such a struggle. Thanks for your honesty, Janelle. It's so natural to set our eyes down here in this physical place. So natural. Praying for you!

In reply to JaQuinn Johnson. You are not alone, JaQuinn. It's something in our flesh nature that seeks that approval from people; when ultimately it's His "approval" and love we crave. Running this faith race next to you, sister-friend.

In reply to Patti. It's a heavy word. Thanks for that encouragement, Patti.

Heavy but true. I’ve been struggling with my weight lately as I’ve gained 40 pounds in a year from the medication I’m on for Lyme Disease. It bothers me mostly because it’s a constant reminder that I am sick, not healthy. BUT, it has been bothering me more than it should. My eyes have been on my flesh too much and not on who I am in Christ Jesus. Thank you for this, Lara.

I completely relate to this. I definitely get stuck in the “approval of people” one when it comes to my obsessive desire to be perfect, which is simply unattainable. I realize it, but I keep on trying. Then I feel defeated when it doesn’t work out how I planned. That one keeps creeping in at different times in my life. I’ve found that God is always the One crushing them. I’m just holding on and crying out to Him for help because I’ve proven – over and over again – that I can not do anything on my own.
