Facebook (1) | Kem G. Lowery My acceptance and worth is not dependent on other's acceptance of me, even if they are fellow believers. Whether they accept me or not, I am still deeply loved, completely forgiven, fully pleasing, totally accepted and complete in Christ. He alone is the final authority on my worth and acceptance. MY RESPONSE IS MY RESPONSIBILITY.

MY RESPONSE IS MY RESPONSIBILITY.: "Laura Register Hester It was quite a load off when I realized (God revealed) that if I am worried about what someone is thinking or saying about me, then they are my focus, so in a sense, I have just exalted them to God's position. Not only was I giving their opinion control of my emotions, I was in idolatry. How ridiculous that if a person hurts you, you make them god!! I came to the conclusion that some people just plain won't like me and I can't help that. But, letting go of trying to fix it/control it released me to love them unconditionally, rather than by seeking to please them and earn their approval. Somehow letting go gives you permission to see their perspective and love them anyway.

And yes, Ken has been on that topic in regard to parenting. I love Ken. He gets it!!"
