I've just had some thoughts about this. One of the things I think God wants is for all of us to believe in ourselves; not in a big-headed way but just thinking that we're ok.
This started because I spent the morning worrying about some people who have made it evident that I'm not ok. After a good pep-talk with a friend, I happened to have a great conversation with someone who's a lot younger than I am but a good friend who I genuinely feel likes me a lot, followed by some textings with people who I know think I'm ok and I feel so much better.
If like me, you're easily discouraged, self-doubting and hypercritical of yourself, maybe you and I should reason, ''I think they're ok people and if they think I'm ok, then I must be ok-ish at the very least!''
And as for those who don't, what do I really think of them? Are they really ok? Well if they don't think I am, maybe they aren't ok so should I be bothered about what they think of me? Almost certainly not!!
