No need to prove

I've come to realize that one of the worst feelings ever happens when you try to prove something. Prove yourself to someone, or everyone. Prove that you're good enough...prove that you're better. Prove that you're something...prove that you're worth it. We start thinking too much about the problem, that we strain ourselves day and night, wondering how to prove that we're something. This feeling eats us up inside, and tears up our emotions...and this is when we become ever more vulnerable. Just when we try, we get disheartened, shoved off, and thrown away. We begin to lose hope that we can't prove anything, which leads us to thinking... maybe there is nothing in us that we can prove.

But, no. That's not true. "You're original, cannot be replaced." We were all created differently, and we are individuals who are unique, and one of a kind. It is not that we have nothing in us to prove to the world, but it is that there is no need for us to prove something to the world. 1 Samuel 16:7 "For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." Pleasing the world does nothing because human beings can never be satisfied.

"There is no need to prove to the world because just by being yourself proves everything already."
