It's going to be, you talk about it in your intro, it's going to be like a roller coaster.

Like it's going to be one day we're good.

One day we're really not good.

One day we know who we are.

One day we really don't know who we are.

And instead, when we know that our identity is rooted in someone much greater than us and the one who created us.

And we let him tell us who we are.

We're no longer thirsty for other people to tell us who we are because we know who we are.

And that's been an adventure for me.

Like that's I've definitely had a lot of moments where I've looked for, you know, the guys that I was dating or into or my career or my following or what just what people thought about.

me, you know, my, my people pleasing, just wanting to be approved and, you know, to be good with, with other people and caring more about what people thought about me than what God thought about me.

And Galatians 1.10 has been a continual convicting verse for me because it says, are you really trying to win the approval of people?

Because if you're trying to win the approval of people, you are not a servant of Christ.

And I'm like,

Ouch.

That's so good.

I used to write on my wrist every time before a basketball game.

And I've just carried this principle into my life now.

Audience of 1A01.

And just would remind myself, I am living for only his approval.
