Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. Isaiah 60:1

When you feel inferior from the words of another, that’s all you.

Only you can allow those words to turn into feelings of inferiority, confirming the lies previously placed from a different time.

If instead, words are said and you shrug them off, inferiority is not bred.

Doesn’t take root, growing into believing you are not valued.

Measure words from others against God’s truth.

Against what you know to be the absolute truth.

Seeking approval of others gets in the way.

Succumbing to the training you’ve had for your entire life is natural.

It takes work not to go there, giving validity to needing approval to feel worthy.

Takes purpose to change your thinking.

There’s no reason to feel inferior to anyone else.

When you match your royal status as God’s chosen, absolutely nothing compares.

Decide today to remain His in your body, mind and spirit.

Remain His as you refuse to feel inferior.

Stand back up and straighten your crown.

After all, it looks better that way.
