“We are all equal at the foot of the cross”–I love that, too. And I have never before considered the thought about expectations ruining relationships. That gives me something to think about. Thank you.

I think about this phrase almost every day. Another one of my favorites is, “Expectations ruin relationships”. I heard a DVD sermon on that one years ago and have never forgotten it.

We are all people. That’s a good one, and goes right along with what I was trying to express. Thanks for sharing it, Tina.

Hi Linda :)
He loves me still. It is who I am. Yes! This is a beautiful mantra to hold, full of strength and peace. Thank you for sharing it.

Thank you, Regina. And I know exactly what you are saying about getting into weird non Biblical teaching that leaves me empty. But the solid, simple truths of the Word leave me full and running over. And YES in response to wishing to occupy space in the mind of people who lift me up in prayer. I have a few people like that in my life, and I am so so blessed to have them.

Good to hear from you, Marian. I am so glad we have the privilege of claiming that beautiful promise on the mailbox. It has helped me many times as well.

It’s not about me. Yes, I think that puts the underlying thought into words very nicely.

Thanks for the reminder! I should’ve thought of using my mantra last week when someone (indirectly) attacked my values. Amen to things not being about me—how freeing! And amen to what Linda said.

I remember as a child sitting on the lawn picking petals off flowers and saying “He loves me, he loves me not”..in my young mind the conclusion that he may not love me (probably some boy), felt real., stupid I know and superstitious. My main concern as an adult, is what God thinks of me…Is my life a fragrant aroma?. It’s so easy to offend those of the world where ego and pride reign. I know and believe in my heart I’m loved by God despite ‘Me’ and that gives me courage…even when I stuff up, or people are unkind..He loves me still. It is my strength and peace. My mantra :I am loved by God, its who I am.
