Summary
Did you know approval addiction manifests itself in very sneaky ways like:
- Over explaining/apologizing
- Being afraid of rejection or what people think
- Questioning if you're good enough
- Mirroring other people
- Saying yes when you want to say no
Welcome to day 12 of the Strong. Confident. His. Faith & Fitness Devotional challenge series.
Today we learn to spot it, surrender it and get free.
Feel free to join in with or without your devotional.
Faith Fuel:
For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ. – Galatians 1:10
Power Thought:
You can't go where God is leading you caring what everyone else thinks.
Song Mentioned: "Who You Say I Am" by Hillsong United
