One of the most dangerous things you can do is allow yourself to be around someone
who's at war with themselves.
People at war with themselves don't know what healthy interaction looks like. They find
a problem for every solution because the real battle is happening in their mind.
Here's what's really happening: they're functioning from a place of rejection and death.
They're what happens when you desperately want acknowledgment from people who
refuse to see you.
We live in a fallen world where everyone says they don't care about acceptance, but it's
natural to want to belong. The danger isn't in wanting acceptance—it's in seeking it from
people who are broken.
When someone is at war with themselves, they can't offer you peace. When someone
doesn't know their own worth, they can't recognize yours. When someone is fighting
internal battles, they'll make you a casualty.
This isn't about avoiding broken people. It's about recognizing that hurt people hurt
people, and you don't have to be collateral damage.
Jesus Christ is our rock. His love is bigger than their rejection. His acceptance is more
valuable than their approval.
The question isn't whether they'll ever see your worth. The question is whether you'll
stop looking for validation from people who are too broken to give it.
How do we let Christ's love permeate every aspect of our lives? We stop seeking from
people what only God can provide.
Whose war are you allowing to disturb your peace?
