Guess what, the likes go back                      created me perfectly in His image

        up. Do you see the problem with                           and that's what matters most!

        this and why it's an issue in the
                                                                          It matters how He sees me
        world today especially?
                                                                  and He sees me as His perfect

               We all can get caught up in                        creation. I am not saying that I am

        what people want to see or what                           perfect or that I don't have flaws

        they want to hear because we                              because that would be lying. I'm

        want to be liked or don’t want to                         saying that my outward

        “ruffle anyone's feathers”.                               appearance isn’t for others to

                                                                  control.
               However, the problem with

        this is that other people likes                                  Do I like to be “liked”, of

        shouldn’t matter that much to us                          coarse I do, but I can’t let that
        that we are concerned about the                           take over how I do everything. So


        way we look to them or even go                            next time you go to make a post
        to the extreme of actually                                or share something on social

        changing what we believe in order                         media, think to yourself is this

        for a “like”.                                             really me and what I want people

                                                                  to see in or through me?
               I think that we all struggle

        with this from time to time. Being                                Don’t get caught up in

        a people person myself I struggle                         what’s popular. You are number

        with this and must work on it                             one to God and remember He

        constantly. I have come a long                            thinks that you are perfect just

        way but still need help                                   the way that you are. He wants

        remembering that others aren't                            you to stand up for what you

        the ones that I should be worried                         believe in when it’s in line with

        about impressing or being                                 the Bible. He wants you to shine

        concerned with what they think. I                         with His help and His love

        need to remember that God is the                          showing through all the darkness.

        one who created me, and He
