Faithful Cycles: When You Try Too Hard to Belong
Real Life. Real Struggles. Real Truth.
Truth Cycle:
You change how you talk. You change how you dress. You laugh at things you don’t think are funny. All just to get a seat at their table. But no matter how hard you try, it’s never enough. You’re chasing acceptance and losing yourself along the way.
Biblical Truth:
God never asked you to blend in. He made you to stand apart. True belonging starts with Him, not them.
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” Romans 12:2 (NKJV)
“For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10 (NKJV)
“You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.” 1 Corinthians 7:23 (NKJV)
Quick Word:
You weren’t made to fit into their mold. You were made in God’s image. Don’t trade your identity for temporary approval.
