god's validation
Read this post this morning by Steven Furtick that really resonated with me on a number of levels. I don't think I necessarily crave others' validation, but I feel in some ways like my life has been void of it. So, yeah I do want it.
There have been times in the past few years that I've felt over-looked in some situations; I've yet to understood them.
In the middle of a conversation on a drive home several months ago, Lacey hit me with this question right between the eyes, "Why do you feel the need to prove yourself or be validated by someone else?" Ouch. Talk about hard to take, even though I knew it was truth.
So, I've wrestled with this over and over again in my mind. And I know God is the ultimate answer, but it still haunts me, especially when I'm down.
Furtick says this, "The affirmation of others can make a wonderful supplement to the affirmation of God. But it makes a terrible substitute. "
