If there is anything I have learned within the past few weeks, it is this: Never try to change yourself and be something you are not for anyone but God Himself. If God is pleased with who you are, then it doesnt matter what everyone else thinks! I can never please everybody all at the same time and I shouldnt be expected to try to. There will always be that one person who will not be appeased and will bring you down. But, if your focus is on pleasing your Savior alone, so many unnecessary struggles with others can be avoided! I have also learned to focus my energy on the people who actually do want and need that attention! I have found myself so many times focused so much on people that really shouldnt be in my life that I unintentionally neglect those that God HAS placed in my life during the seasons of my life. You could say that instead of being thankful and content with the things and people God HAS given me, I got consumed with trying to dig up past situations, past relationships, or past friendships (the list goes on) that God has closed the door on! No more. Id rather have no friends than to hang onto things that God does not want me to have. You can have this whole old world, but give me Jesus! Like my Mom, D Wood Aldridge, said to me just this morning, Dont ever be afraid to be alone........with Christ. Amen!
