Proverbs emphasizes the importance of humility and warns against pride, suggesting that true self-worth comes from recognizing one’s value as God’s creation rather than from personal achievements.

One minute a large crowd of people in Jerusalem was saying to Jesus, “Hosanna! Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord!” They put palm branches down before Jesus celebrating His arrival. A few days later, some of those same people were yelling, “Crucify Him!” 😳😳

If you rely on them to make you feel beautiful, talented, or valuable, you’re letting them control your self-worth. You’ll have to play up to them to try to keep them. But when you know you’re enough all by yourself, when you’re not living from a deficit mindset, it doesn’t matter what people do or don’t do. You know that you have the approval from your Heavenly Father.
