You Don't Need The World's Approval

"Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God?" Galatians 1:10

 In your life today, maybe you are finding yourself trying to win the approval of others. Whenever you do something you want them to notice, you want them to say how great you are, or applaud you. Maybe you are wanting to feel accepted and liked, but are discouraged when you don't get the approval you want. Well let me tell you today, that if this is you, there is only one person that you need to approve of you, and He already has.
 See, in the world, when we search for approval from others, that is only and always going to leave us feeling empty. We are going to feel like whatever it is that we have accomplished isn't as good as we thought it was and our self esteem lowers. But let me tell you today that you don't need applause from the world around you. You don't need them to tell you that you are enough, that you did a great job, or applaud you. Why? Well because God is doing all of that for you, and His approval is the only one that matters. He is going to tell you that you are enough because He created you to be that way. He is going to be proud of what you have accomplished because He gave you this life, the talents, and gifts that you used to create it. And He is going to applaud you, even when you don't think that anyone appreciates, cares about, or even has seen the good things that you do. Just remember that God does, and when He does see you do so, He applauds you from heaven.
 So just remember today, that you don't need the approval from others around you, those will only leave you feeling empty, but the only approval that matters is God's, and He sees and is very proud of all that you create and do.
