You Are Already Approved

Your approval means nothing to me, because I know you don’t have God’s love within you. (John 5:41 -42 NLT)

How often have you hinged your decision-making or matters of the heart on the approvals or opinions of others? Many times we just want the reassurance that we are going down the right path. However living for the approval or validation of others is where we get into trouble. When Jewish leaders scrutinized Jesus for healing a lame man on the Sabbath he read them their track record and kindly declined their opinion and dissatisfaction toward Him. They were the cream of the crop as it relates to knowing the scriptures but they missed Jesus as the Messiah because he didn’t follow tradition. Jesus never does things in a traditional way he always operates outside the box; you know color outside the lines. And as a Child of God your creativity and ideas will look foolish to the world. We all yearn the approval of others its our nature but ultimately the only approval we need was provided over 2,000 years ago. Tap into your heavenly Fathers love and approval and begin the work that is destined for you in this time and season.

“But God chose what the world thinks foolish to shame the wise, and God chose what the world thinks weak to shame the strong.” (I Cor 1:27 NET Bible).

…and He has also set His seal upon us, and has put His Spirit into our hearts as a pledge and foretaste of future blessing. (2 Cor 1:22 Weymouth NT)
