Is the approval of others running your life?

Most of us have fallen into that trap at some point—letting what other people think shape our decisions, how we see ourselves, and even our sense of worth. The reality is, when we hitch our identity to the opinions of others, we’re giving them power over our lives.

However, you don’t need anyone’s permission to be who God made you to be.

When your identity is rooted in Jesus, you’re no longer swayed by the constant ups and downs of people’s opinions. God’s approval isn’t something you have to earn—it’s already yours because of Christ.
