1 Samuel 16:7 -- But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
Galatians 1:10 -- For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
It can be tempting to let what others say about us define who we believe we are. But that's not where our identity comes from. You are not what others say and think you are; you are what God says and thinks you are.
You are not on your own; you belong to God. You are His, and always will be. People will always look at us on the outside. They'll think who we are depends on how we look and whether we're cool or not. But God looks at our hearts, and we'll only have peace when we believe who God says we are: His precious creations that He loves.
In this episode, we learn that Subject 2 gets teased at school, and wishes she were popular. She does not love who she is, and thinks that other people liking her will make her feel good about herself. Watch what happens as Subject 2 learns who God says she is in this episode of Erased.
QUESTION: What things do you believe about yourself that you've been told by others? Do you think these things are true or false?
