Most of the time people are just joking with me, and I know that. I know that they don't mean it when they say "we can't be friends anymore!" or "I'm not going to talk to you ever again!" but I still can't help but wonder if there is a grain of truth in what they're saying.
(I think I've blogged about this before, but I'm too lazy to go look and see right now. so, sorry if I have)
I mean, really though. What if they are really telling the truth in a sarcastic way? What if they're too scared to tell me that my story really freaks them out and they don't want to talk to me again?
STOP.

"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? ... But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (matt 6)
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." (john 14)
"An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up." (prov 12)
"I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.." (psalm 16)
"The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him" (psalm 28)
"They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD." (psalm 112)
Okay, God. I get it.
I know that this concept of not worrying about every little thing people say to me is an easy idea... but the carrying out of it is very difficult, near to impossible!! But that is what God is here to help me with? I just need to be 100% content in HIM not in what other people say to me.
