I Got My 1st Negative Comment Today…

What's funny is that I was preparing this specific blog to post today and while preparing it, I got my first negative comment on my very first YouTube video:

The comment plays into the exact insecurity I've been battling since before starting the Basically a Therapist podcast. It's the insecurity that I shouldn't say anything because I don't have the credentials. No one will listen to me because I'm no one. What will people think and say about me?

I recently reread the story of Jesus' crucifixion and I had an epiphany.

Jesus was a sinless, perfect person who literally came to give people eternal life and a better way of life. He did NOTHING wrong and He was still hated! He quietly took ridicule, blame, and judgement. It was all misplaced yet He didnt argue or try is prove His point. And I spiral when someone thinks negatively about me and dislikes me for no reason.

LOL.

How silly, how unimportant, in the grand scheme of things. How caught up I get in the opinions of others when I can't take them to heaven with me. I'm not going to get to heaven and show God the screenshot of R M's comment and ask God if I can still get in. I'm enough because of God in me and what He says about me.

Like me or don't. It's not about me, has nothing to do with me, and doesn’t stop me from spending eternity in heaven with Jesus.
