Be Careful Not To Let Other People’s Limited Perceptions to Define You, and Here’s Why
People offer their advice every day. They give you their opinions and even demand things from you. They often try to define you by saying what you can or can’t do based on their own perspective. The problem is when you take those words as the absolute truth and accept them. When you do this, you’re living up to their expectations. You’re not giving yourself the opportunity to know who you really are.
Now, why define yourself based on someone else’s opinion? What they tell you can’t have more power than your own thoughts about yourself. Their perspective is limited by their history, their beliefs, and even their fears. They can’t know more about you than you. They don’t know your identity, your abilities, or your potential. Certainly, they don’t know your limitations and fears.
Stay on this side of TRUTH. You know that your true identity is found in Christ alone. God made you who you are. No other opinions matter.
“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” Psalm 139:13–14
