“Father, please show me my sin.”
I worry too much about what others think about what I think,
feel, and do. Instead my focus should be
on what God thinks of me. I hesitate in
things I know to be right for fear of what others think. I also too often look for reassurance or
approval from human relationships when I should be looking for Divine
approval.
Too many things I have done to impress or gain favor from
others have been just vain and foolish.
These pursuits are all my pride and lack of faith working themselves out
in sinful ways. It is rather that if I
embrace humility and focus on pleasing God that I can find the reassurances I
need.
I have needed approval for as long as I can remember. I need to get to the place where I realize
the level at which I already have it. If I keep my focus on following Christ
and obeying his commands to love God and others I cannot help but see how much
he loves and accepts me.
Wishing you joy in the journey,

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
