I resign from trying to be socially accepted!
Today, I realized that I cannot please society and so, I have decided that I will only try to please God.
Society, your standards are too high and they are inconsistent. You change with the wind. What is OK today is out tomorrow. You are not forgiving. You encourage holding grudges and frown upon reconciliation and restoration. None of my faults or flaws are you willing to forget AND you will not let me forget them, either.
You issue out a standard that even you CANNOT keep. You pressure people to be accepted by you, but how? We cannot keep up with your shifting values and beliefs.
So, today, I AM FINISHED!
I am finished trying to fit into the “social” norm.
I am finished with disliking me or others who have made mistakes and are trying to rectify them.
I am finished with seeking your approval about my life or seeking your guidance on which direction I should take.
I am finished trying to live by whatever value or standard you have currently OK’d.
Your values are uncertain and your relationships are based on conditions.
So, today, is it! I am done! I will not conform any longer to your standard.
Today, I admit my faults and flaws. I admit that I have lied, gossiped, cheated and hurt others.
Today, I release myself from the dungeon of your darkness and submit myself wholeheartedly to the sea of light where mercy and grace is found. I surrender to the Lordship of God.
"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever." (1 John 2:15-17)
