“Posting carefully selected content that portrays a desirable lifestyle, sharing achievements,  or engaging in trending topics. The constant feedback loop of likes and comments creates a reinforcement mechanism that drives people to continuously seek validation through status-oriented behaviors.”

Five ways you can tell you seek validation.

1. You worry about what others think.
2. You are often overly sensitive.
3. You compromise your values.
4. You hesitate to share your faith.
5. You have a hard time saying no.

Becoming obsessed with what people think about you is the quickest way to forget what God thinks about you.

Proverbs 29:25
Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe.

John 4:7-30 (Click to read the full passage)

1. The well of people’s approval will never satisfy.

2. Where the world wounds us, Jesus heals us.

3. Real influence began the moment she believed.

LIVE FROM THE APPROVAL OF GOD INSTEAD OF FOR THE APPROVAL OF PEOPLE.
