Notepad Encouragement
Many years ago, I took a music class on creating a musical score for a video. The teacher and I were about the same age, so we struck up a friendship during that semester. On one occasion, he asked if I could drive him to the airport using his car so it would not be stuck in an airport parking lot while he was gone. I agreed. Now alone on the way back to his house, I noticed a notepad attached to his dashboard. The message on the top sheet read, “God is my audience.”
Aside from living as a hermit, totally disconnected from everyone, we are constantly being evaluated by those around us. That judgment may relate to work performance, parenting, lifestyle, art, social media posts, fashion (or lack thereof), etc. Some comments are asked for, but the majority are not. Some are spoken or posted, but most are not. If we are not careful, we may tie our self-worth to what other people think of us. Our worth does not come from others but from God. He is the only audience that matters.
