Dear Friends,
It’s easy to fall into the trap of trying to please people so that they’ll “approve” of you. During this election year, there are many polls out there that make an attempt at measuring how folks feel about others and certain issues. The media perpetuates this insane practice and we tend to buy into what the poll says, regardless of what the facts are. So, here’s a poll that I know for a fact is true: God’s Love for You is 100% unconditional and eternal. No debate on this one. It’s a FACT! Be blessed friends, Love and Hugs, Scott

Beware Of Seeing Yourself through other people’s eyes. There are several dangers to this practice. First of all, it is nearly impossible to discern what others actually think of you. Moreover, their views of you are variable, subject to each viewer’s spiritual , emotional, and physical condition. The major problem with letting others define you is that it borders on idolatry. Your concern to please others dampens your desire to please Me, your Creator.
It is much more real to see yourself through My eyes. My gaze upon you is steady and sure, untainted by sin. Through My eyesyou can see yourself as one who is deeply, eternally loved. Rest in My loving gaze, and you will receive deep Peace. Respond to My loving Presence by worshiping Me in spirit and in truth.
Hebrews 11:6 6And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
John 4:23-24 23Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.24God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
