Reassured

"On the outside I look fragile, but on the inside there's something you can't crush." (Country Strong)

I heard once that to be sure that you are doing the right thing, making the right decisions in life, following a relatively good path-- you need to ask people for reassurance. I found no biblical reference for this but the fact that I heard it from a Godly woman that claims it led her to a powerful marriage. I just think that the Lord already knows we need reassurances and that he offers them, at times, in form of people's approval in certain matters. The point is that we do not seek out the claims of others but the reassurance of the Lord. He will give it to us and make us aware that it's of Him.

I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them. (Isaiah 42:16)

Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear. (Isaiah 65:24) 

"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you...For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior." (Isaiah 43:1-3)
