In this second episode of our three-part series, the team covers lie number two from the book Search For Significance. This lie tells us that I must have the approval of certain people to feel good about myself. This is the lie of the approval addict, which results in fear of rejection.
Many survivors find themselves in the trap of - I must be approved by others to be loved, have worth, and find identity. No matter how young or old we are, we are all just like the little child with the craving for acceptance and the hunger for approval.
We all want to know the following:
- Am I ok?
- Do you see me?
- Is what I have done good enough?
- Do I matter to you?
We all have two things in common:
- The need to be needed
- The need to be known by others
We all wrestle with questions like:
- Do people see me?
- Do people understand me?
This yearning in our hearts is why this episode is so important! We need to remind ourselves that God looks down upon us and says, "I see you, you are needed, you are known, and I am proud of you." We need to let God fill our hunger for approval and be our only source that meets all of our needs.
