Finding Peace During the Healing Process discussion

This topic will be used for Day 10, "Seeking Validation from Others."

Here are a few questions to reflect on and discuss after reading the devotional entry for Day 10. (Only share as much as you feel comfortable sharing in the comments).

1.) Words of affirmation are indeed a part of the 5 Love Languages. (See The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman for reference). However, do you need words of affirmation to feel validated? If no one else ever affirmed you, would you be able to validate yourself with words of affirmation?

2.) If you seek the validation of others, can you pinpoint what caused you to seek it?

3.) In the scriptures, God affirms us as His children. What chapters and verses do you read to remind yourself of the affirmation found in God's Word?
