Just Hit “Delete”
We were having a break during school one day. My kids were playing with their stuffed animals which have a life of their own. Pinky Whitey as Snow had left a message on Pink Bunnies phone saying “Hello, Pink Bunny, you are ugly.” My daughter, who answers for Pink Bunny, in a very nonchalant way said “Oh, that’s OK, I will just hit the delete button.”
Isn’t that a great lesson for us all. We worry and fret so much over what others say and think about us, yet there is nothing we can do about it. We cannot force people to like us, speak highly of us or even understand us. All we can do is seek after glorifying God in everything so that no matter what others say about us, our character will shine forth brighter than all else.
Imagine how much happier we would be if we could learn this simple lesson from the mouth of a babe. When we are confronted by something that hurts our feelings or diminishes our worth in this world, we could just hit delete to those messages. We could choose to listen to the only voice that matters, the One of our Creator, who says we were fearfully and wonderfully made in His image. What a great message to remember.
Paul tells us in I Corinthians 4:3 “I care little if I am judged by you or by any human court, indeed, I do not even judge myself.” If we could all live with that in mind, we would think a lot less highly of ourselves and care a lot less about the judgment of others too!!
When you hear a message that is painful, remember to hit the delete button. Take your thoughts captive today. Your destiny is waiting.
I will take my thoughs captive – I know my destiny is waiting… Thank you Carrie! God bless!
…and I don’t care about what people might think about the misprint in my comment… I will just hit the delete button! I am learning, am I not?
How great it would be if we could hit ‘delete’ when we have not guarded our words. Thanks for a great reminder to take our thoughts captive when we wish we could delete others painful words to us. Bless you my friend!
I’ve struggled with this issue my whole life, just wanting people to like (and love) me. It’s only been in the last several years as I’ve spent time at Jesus’ feet that I’ve learned it’s just Him that I need to please. I still occasionally battle with being concerned with what people think, but I like this idea of “just hit delete!” Thanks!
