Do you ever get the feeling... - Page 2

I have found when I get to thinking like that, that it is the enemy trying to get me back into low-self esteem and inferiority complex.

Dont believe him! He is trying to get your focus on yourself, and not on Jesus or others! Tell yourself that you are a Child of God, and in Him there is no condemnation, and God loves you, you are His treasure

and what other people think doesnt matter!

ABsolutely Right Fluffy,

Proverbs 27:6
Faithful are the wounds of a friend

Proverbs 27:9
Oil and perfume rejoice the heart; so does the sweetness of a friend's counsel that comes from the heart.

James B. Don't worry about what people think; they don't do it very often.

And by the way you are paronoid

I used to be super-shy and was always afraid of the way other people thought about me when I was younger. All of my i's were dotted, all of my t's were crossed.

Then one day (when I was about 19) it dawned on me...hey, wait a minute! I have just as much right to live comfortably just like everybody else!

This just hit me when I was in a World store (where they sold African stuff and such) in Eugene, OR. The music was great! I was feeling frisky! So I started dancing! My friends were like - what are you doing!?

"These people don't know me," I told them. "They're never going to see me again!" So I boogied it down and people were smiling and laughing when they saw me. It felt great.

People might know something about me that I don't know...but only God and me knows really what's on the inside. I try not to judge, I'm really sorry for my sins, I love God, and everybody's my friend. That's what I know about myself.

If someone's grandma told their cousin's sister's friend of the family that I might have done something bad way back when I was young and they're still hanging onto that memory - then that's really something about them. Not me. God has forgiven me for that.

Every time I remember something bad that I did when I was young, I cringe. Oh, no...tell me I didn't do that! Then I close my eyes wherever I am and quietly ask Jesus to wipe that sin from me. I tell him I'm sorry, and I feel it in my heart.

I might know some things about other people that they don't know...I can rub that in their face until they choke on it; or I can realize that we've all done things that we're not proud of, and Jesus saves us all.

Smile! We're all in this together.

I regret mistakes I made with her like never having her teeth cleaned,which to me years ago sounded ridiculous... Anyway, thanks for the memories.

Awww...now I'm sad.

Makes me want to go home and tell my kitty-kitty that I'm sorry (but I'm not going to 'cuz it was all her fault in the first place).

I wonder if pets ever wonder if we know things about them that they don't?
