God affirming
July 12, 2021
While criticism may rule in our culture, God affirms us with His positive words and His perspective of us. Is someone critical of you? Consider this: Romans 8: 31 ‘What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?’ We hold up criticism to the light of God’s word. Is there truth in it that we need to heed? God is always for us.
He directs us, changes us, encourages and affirms us. Consider using God’s words to affirm someone else. “I am for you, limited in how I can help, but I believe in you. And God does too. And His resources are unlimited.”
Encouraging words crowd out anxiety and lift spirits. God is honored.
