APPROVAL


There is a certain weakness that is found is most people, a need for approval.
We can happily exist and do our work, whatever it might be, and still want approval from others. Why?

Perhaps is comes down to our need for love, which is a positive weakness.
However, we may look for this love from others instead of waiting and believing that God will provide for our needs.

This is where faith steps in and we leave human reasoning behind.

Only God knows our needs, even more so than we do. So, when we turn to others and look for approval from them, it is tantamount to insulting God. We offend against Truth.

Of course because others love us, we will experience their love and approval. Yet, it would be wise, not to depend on them.
They, like ourselves, are prone to human frailty. We can be hurt by our own misguided need for their approval, and vice-verse.

Look to God and be ready to accept the Truth, whatever it might be.
