The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.
Proverbs 14:1 NIV
There's enough pressure on us, on our "house" from the outside - the storms of life that buffet, the hurts, disappointments, losses - without us adding in our own by comparing, by destroying ourselves.
Not only do we have a God shaped space in our heart, but He has a You shaped space in His, that only You can fill.
We can never live up to all the expectations of this world - but it all changes when we know we're loved by its creator.
That's what the wise build their house on. The foundation is not my ability or strength or goodness or appearance or achievement or even someone elses love. All those things can let us down.
Our foundation is that despite our weaknesses and failings we're God's dearly loved children.

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
