This is my life. This is what God taught me. Counseling from God’s Word

 I’ve been thinking lately about how many times people have told me what they think is wrong with me or how I should change.  They might even tell me that if people were honest with me they would tell me what’s wrong with me essentially but that they don't.  A good friend and mentor once told me one time that I should listen to what people say and if it’s true say ok and try to change it and if it’s not true say ok and pray about it.  The only thing that matters is what God thinks.  People’s opinions will fade and change and they are temporary not eternal.  I guess it doesn’t ultimately matter.  People are going to have their own standards of what they think is right or wrong in the world.  The only standard I need to live by is God’s Standards.  If He has accepted me that is all that matters.  If He hasn’t accepted me then that is all that matters.  I watched Overcomer and it reminded me of how my identity is in Christ and how He h...
