I worry too much about what people think at times. I don't want to offend people, hurt their feelings or make them my enemy, but sometimes you just can't avoid it. People will not like what you say and will probably hold it against you for awhile or maybe for the rest of your life. I feel insecure at times when I start thinking about something I said, blogged, did or wrote on facebook. I don't want people to feel offended by me, but they sometimes just are.
Recently, I came to the conclusion that feeling insecure about what others think was just a waste of my time. I have held my head up more in the past few weeks than I ever have. Their is no need for me to hide my true self or avoid being honest about what I feel is helping me in life.
It feels good to be real about who you are regardless if people are going to like it or not. It seems those who don't worry about what people think, really have more fun in life!!
Jesus went through so much in such a short time and offended people left and right with very good intentions. He didn't seem to worry about it, right?

Christina~you are such a wonderful person, you should never feel insecure about what you say. I don't think you would say anything to offend anyone. I use to feel the same way. Then I came to the conclusion that YOU CAN'T MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY!!! Those who know you best and are your true friend will always understand. You are a wonderful person and I am so glad that I am getting to know you :)
Thanks, you make me smile:)
Christina,
What you said in this devotion is so true for myself as well. I seem to always second guess what I have said, or done. I need to learn to get over that insecurity and have more fun in life!! Thanks for staying true to yourself as well as to God!! :) You are such an encouragement to me as well as others, please never change that:)
