Me: This doesn’t look like much…
Prodigal: It doesn’t matter what it looks like, it is good here.
Me: I agree, God values a lot because He sees the truth.
This is from the book: So Long Insecurity by Beth Moore
You can hurt my feelings, but you cannot have my security.
I won’t let you. It’s mine to keep. You cannot have it.
You can criticize me and even be right about what I did wrong, but you do not
get to damage my security. It’s mine to keep. You cannot have it.
You might have embarrassed me, but I refuse to let it fall on me
so heavily that it smothers my security. It’s mine to keep.
You cannot have it.
You may be so intimidating and threatening that I feel I have to hand a lot of things to you,
but I refuse to hand over my security. Who are you doesn’t get to dwarf who I am.
My security is mine to keep. You cannot have it.
Now therefore arise, O Lord God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of strength: let thy priests, O Lord God, be clothes with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.
2 Chronicles 6:41
