1 John 4:4 ….the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 

God is greater than our culture and outside influences, and He is inside you. He is greater than the world, and it’s constant need to consume, judge, condemn and disparage, and He is inside you. God is all you need to find approval with yourself.  He created you. He’s in your DNA. You’ll not find contentment in the world of consumerism and self-focus, designed to leave you wanting more. Fortunately, God is greater than the discontentment, clamor and pettiness of the world.  He is the loudest voice inside of us, even when He whispers, for He speaks powerfully with wisdom, truth, non-judgment, approval and love. He wants you to be God-focused and listen for His voice above the noise of the world. He tells you constantly that you are worthy, loved and His precious child.  His voice is greater, His love is greater, and His worth is greater.
