Labels

Do you ever wonder how long it will take you to learn something?

How long will it take until I don't let people's words bother me? Evidently and quite possibly, the answer is my entire life.

I have spent the last two days a little upset by a comment someone made about me, a label of how they view me. It's not that the comment was horrible, but the label wasn't expressed as a positive attribute. I know I shouldn't let it bother me; I know I should just let it go, but sometimes that's not easy to do, is it?

What some people view as a negative might actually be the thing that God uses in your life to make the biggest impact for Him. 

And labels, well, I only need to be concerned about the important ones such as ...


I am God's child,
I am a follower of Jesus, 
I am His forever

... those are the only labels that matter.
