If I were trying to please men,
I would not be a servant of Christ.
Galatians1:10
Seeking the approval of others, often takes center stage in our thoughts
and controls the way we act, and the decisions we make. We have a
distorted idea, that we need to please everyone. Well we can’t. There
will always be someone who disapproves of our actions, or dislikes us.
It is God who needs to be center stage, when it comes to approval. Deep
within each of us, there is a longing to for approval by our Creator.
Man’s approval cannot substitute, or fulfill that desire in us and we
can’t alter the truth of Jesus Christ to gain it. It is His seal of
approval which satisfies our souls.
Prayer
My heart seeks to please You. Your approval is what I desire. I accept
the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ Your Son, without compromise.
Give me the strength to live my life, so that it reflects Your power,
Glory and love to others. It is Your approval my souls seeks. Give me
the wisdom and strength to serve You with my whole heart. In Jesus name,
Amen.
