Find in Me thine all in all

I'm learning to do this. I feel this pull from God saying "release". To let go completely of my fear of man, desire for approval, acceptance, attention. Ever feel like Christians of all people should not make you feel like you're not liked? I feel it every day. And in this season, I hear Christ say, "thy strength indeed is small. Child of weakness watch and pray. Find in Me thine all in all."

There's a lot of freedom in knowing who you are. That you are not defined by what you do or how you look or what you can and cannot do. But remembering the Word that says you are a son and daughter of God says John 1:12. I have this picture in my head of birds flying out of a cage. Or a little girl dancin freely without fear or shame.

God, I pray that you would reveal to us who we are in You. Let us seek Your presence and Your word and strengthen us as your sons and daughters to be men and women of faith, courage, joy, love, peace. Thank you Lord that your strength is perfect in our weakness and help us see ourselves the way You see us because as humans we so long for approval of man. But oh let us live only for an audience of One.
