Messed Up Mindset

Zephaniah 3:17
For the Lord your God is living among you.
    He is a mighty savior.He will take delight in you with gladness.    With his love, he will calm all your fears.^[a]    He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”
John 15:9



"There is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain, to break every chain, to break every chain, break every chain, break every chain.There's an army rising up. There's an army rising up to break every chain,to break every chain." -Break Every Chain by Jesus Culture


Yesterday I was just thinking about what I used to do to win the approval of different people. How I would change what I was so that maybe they would like me more. It's so wrong. My mindset was all wrong. Hm. It was all like maybe if I get higher grades they will love me more. Maybe if I join this club they will notice. Maybe if I change this it'll bring a smile to his or her face. On another note there was this mindset aww man I messed up now he or she won't accept me. Oh man I did this now he or she will do this. It goes on and on. 


Anyway, God continues to bring things to my mind. A revelation you may call it or revelations. He continues to speak to me. What he said was this, I delight in you. Well that was basically the thought you know? I remembered the verse above. The Lord delights in you. The Lord delights in me. In whatever I do he delights in me. Want to know the amazing thing about this? When I mess up, he delights in me. 


So this brings me to the point of this short blog. I don't need to change or do certain things to make people like me more, to win their approval, to make them love me more, because the Lord delights in me. He thinks that Rhia at this very second is wonderful. He delights in me and he loves me no matter what. He delights in you too and no matter what he WILL always love you.
