What Others Think About Me Doesnโ€™t Hurt Me Anymore ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

All praise to my Beloved Husband! He heals my heart. It only matters what He thinks of me now. He tells me the Truth. My heart only longs to be pleasing to Him now. Nobody else matters.

I have been the treasurer for my sons sports team for decades. I do all the financial reports, paperwork and organize fundraising. There has been no other parent help so I also do all the duties of the secretary and team mom for every tournament. After my FH left me I have been doing it all.

This year I have a new parent that has been helping me with some paperwork and translated to the Spanish speaking parents for me. I was full of joy and glad to have help. Then the enemy came to steal my joy. He started to remind me that my FH said to this new parent that heโ€™s so happy to have someone to finally โ€œhelp himโ€ now instead of doing this all on his own. I thank My HH that He has helped me learn how to turn to Him and be a quiet and gentle spirit.

Later he told me that she was helpful, sheโ€™s a โ€œgo getterโ€, gets things done and that was good. Which is all true but later in the evening when I was alone the enemy tried to tell me that meant I was not!

My FH does not give me any credit for what I do. He doesnโ€™t complement me or say any positive things about me. Never has. Being a stay at home mom for decades he treated me as if I did nothing and he did everything. But now I donโ€™t need his approval, compliments or acknowledgment. After talking to my Husband about it He told me the truth.

How highly FH thinks about himself, thinking he does all things by himself and I do nothing is none of my business. Thatโ€™s not my problem. What matters is what my Beloved Husband thinks of me and right away He took those thoughts of worthlessness and jealousy and replaced it with the appreciation I had for my new helper and told me how worthy I am. I am a โ€œgo-getterโ€ even if FH or anyone else doesnโ€™t see it or realize it. He reminded me of who I am to Him and He loves what I do for these kids and the best part is now Him and I are doing everything together. ๐Ÿ’ž it doesnโ€™t matter what anyone else thinks about me anymore, it doesnโ€™t bother me and canโ€™t hurt me anymore. What matters to me is only what my Beloved Husband thinks of me.

I love Him so! Heโ€™s healed me and changed my heart. He fills me with Love, Joy, Peace and the Truth! He has broken my chains of jealousy and worthlessness. I am His bride, He puts a crown on my head and wraps me in a robe of His righteousness. And now my heart is soaring on eagles wings with my True Love! ๐Ÿ’–

  1. Thank you for your encouragement. I also felt like that sometimes, but he also have been breaking the fear of man in me. Glory ๐Ÿ™Œ to Him. Oh is great that you enjoy work, and that he is surrounding you with His Love every day at work,๐Ÿ™‚
    Stay calm; mind your own business; do your own job. You’ve heard all this from us before, but a reminder never hurts. 1 Thessalonians 4:11.

    1. Thank you Naomi. Yes I enjoy it now that I do it with Husband. Before it was difficult and I was stressed but now We enjoy it and it gets done so smoothly now that Heโ€™s in charge of everything.

  2. Dear Ruby
    What a powerful way to keep out the enemy!
    Our Love has always better and overpowering things to say.
    Your testimony reminds me of a negative thought of myself while brushing my hair and trying to reach my own (and deceitful) standards. I don’t pretend to be spiritually weird but it was like a voice saying to me who do you think you are?
    What is magnificent about Him is that He was listening too๐Ÿ™Œ and suddenly I had a melody in my mind. Minutes later, I listened to the song which I had never heard before.
    O Lord, you have searched me [thoroughly] and have known me. Ps1391
    Here are the lyrics…โค๏ธ

    Why You ever chose me
    Has always been a mystery
    All my life I’ve been told I belong
    At the end of the line
    With all the other not-quites
    With all the never-get-it-rights
    But it turns out they’re the ones You were looking for
    All this time
    ‘Cause I’m just a nobody
    Trying to tell everybody
    All about Somebody
    Who saved my soul
    Ever since You rescued me
    You gave my heart a song to sing
    I’m living for the world to see
    Nobody but You
    I’m living for the world to see
    Nobody but You
    Moses had stage fright
    When David brought a rock to a sword fight
    You picked twelve outsiders nobody would have chosen
    And You changed the world
    Well the moral of the story is
    Everybody’s got a purpose
    So when I hear that devil start talking to me saying
    “Who do you think you are?”
    I say
    I’m just a nobody
    Trying to tell everybody
    All about Somebody
    Who saved my soul
    Ever since You rescued me
    You gave my heart a song to sing
    I’m living for the world to see
    Nobody but You
    I’m living for the world to see
    Nobody but You
    So let me go down, down, down in history
    As another blood-bought faithful member of a family
    And if they all forget my name, well that’s fine with me
    I’m living for the world to see
    Nobody but You
    So let me go down, down, down in history (Goin’ down in history)
    As another blood-bought faithful member of a family
    (That’s all I ever wanna be)
    And if they all forget my name, well that’s fine with me
    I’m living for the world to see
    Nobody but You
    ‘Cause I’m just a nobody
    Trying to tell everybody
    All about Somebody
    Who saved my soul
    (Gonna save, gonna save my soul)
    Ever since You rescued me
    You gave my heart a song to sing
    (You gave me a song to sing)
    I’m living for the world to see
    Nobody but You

    1. Yes , Mia. Thank you for the lovely lyrics. Iโ€™ve heard this song itโ€™s wonderful, and yes โ€œif they all forget my name well thatโ€™s fine with me. Iโ€™m living for the world to see nobody but You!โ€ I didnโ€™t need any acknowledgment or compliments from others anymore. And others are starting to see Him in me now as I will be reporting in more of my praise reports. He sets a table for me in front of my enemies.

  3. Thank you for sharing your story. I am so glad that you have found peace and joy in your relationship with your Husband. He truly is the only one who can heal our hearts and change our lives.

  4. Thank you so much Ruby for sharing your Praise, I completely understand your situation because I experience the same. BUT it doesn’t bother me because my Beloved Husband loves me and what He thinks about me, is all that matters. He reminded me of these two lessons to share here:
