a few weeks into this social psychology class, and i honestly am overwhelmed at the human capacity to be so influenced, even on subconcious levels. we are easily persuaded, influenced...worried about fitting into ingroups and outgroups...fall into falling for prejudices that we do not even know are there...
it has been a powerful reminder to me about how God made us...He made us each uniquely in His image, yet sin has marred His creation. instead of resting in who He made each one of us to be, we are concerned with what others think of us--sometimes even putting others down just to feel better about ourselves, of struggling with self-esteem since we do not fully understand, nor rest in, what He created us to be...
for just a moment, i am going to rest in the fact that all God wants me to be is the unique creation He made to fulfill specific purposes.
(what do you think of that? is that okay?)
