Who we look to for approval, will one day be who we become.
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Matthew 3:17
Growing up, as with most adolescents, I strived to get my parents approval. In Middle and High School I strived to get my peers approval. But now that I am a saved old man, I should only care about the approval from One—My Priestly King- Jesus Christ. That is the One whom I should’ve been concerned with all along. If my relationship with Him is right, my other relationships will line up as well.
Are you still striving to meet someone else’s approval? STOP! Be obedient to God’s Word and some of those relationships will fix themselves!
