I Only Need God's Approval
[If God be for me who can be against me?]
I want to get past needing positive input and approval from people. I just thought of Jeremiah how no one seemed to want to hear his words or ever gave him positive encouragement. Why do we need this? Why do I seem to need this? Lord, if there's more to these feeling I'm having show me otherwise I'm going to assume it's satan working on my flesh-man and refuse it
Toss it aside and trust Me. Trust Me to keep you stayed to the course I've laid out for you. Trust Me to keep you in all your ways exactly where I want you. You are not a rebellious child, refusing Me access to you. Why would you think I couldn't move you to the left or to the right if I so chose to?
I don't know Lord? I guess I put too much emphasis on my flesh and it's desires to sway me. I will trust You! I choose to trust You with me and my ways, that You can move me as You desire!
That's it child, trust Me and waste not your time with these useless speculations. Time is short and we must be about My business of saving the world before time runs out.
You control time, can even stop it if You so choose.
I know child, but I have set things in motion for such a time as this and there is no reason to slow it down or even stop it. It shall run it's appointed course into eternity, then shall come My eternal plans for mankind.
Lord, I sense that this detour from Your plan hasn't been as long in Your eyes as it has been to us. A day is as a 1000 years to You so this world You created has only been around for a short time from Your view point. I want my mind and thoughts on eternity and eternal values. Help me cooperate with the plans You have for saving the world around me. Your plans are so vast. I see You with a huge army of people telling and directing them as You do me, to perform Your plans to save Your world, the people You created. Forgive me for self piety, allowing it to stay. That's the only thing I know to call it, maybe mixed with some man-pleasing attitude. I shake it off and I'm ready to move forward Father. Lord, it's funny as I said that I see these things as fleas that I'm shaking off like a dog shakes himself from water.
Trust Me child, we are in this together, we are one and I will never leave you alone or
helpless or useless. You are useful to Me, precious and important, of great value in My sight. As you value Me, your value goes up, you advance in ranks and ability to be used by Me. My love for you and My thoughts and plans for you do not change but My ability to use you increases with each step of obedience you take towards Me. Only My obedient children can I trust with My heart and plans for this rebellious world I
created. They will take My heart to them and not their own self-imposed ways. My heart they will extend in their open hands to these I send them to. They will not trust their ways, their thoughts and feelings of a situation but will search out My heart and that's what they will trust and use to reach these with.
I want to always search out Your heart before I speak or act. I know I haven't done this nearly as much as I should have but I'm asking You to help me from this point on to do so.
Is it not My desire to do so child? Yes? Then trust Me as your Father to supply all you have need of. Trust me to never leave you lacking anything, my supply is limitless to you My child. I desire to give you the very desires of your heart, for they are My desires for you too. Trust Me to supply and equip you with every needed and desired thing so that you walk victorious, carrying My cross of victory over your flesh-man. He, satan,
despises the cross, the symbol of his defeat, so lift it high and expose his lies, nailing them to that same cross. Nail everything to the cross that does not conform to Me, to what you know of Me. Yes child, each day finds you more and more conformed to My likeness and less and less like the old man, controlled by him. If you could see from My viewpoint you'd be amazed at the transformation that has already occurred but it's nothing in comparison to what is coming child. Trust Me to change you from one stage of glory to another. Soon child, soon all your heart's desire shall stand before you clothed in glorious splendor for your eyes to behold. No more separation, no more waiting. The Spirit and the bride say “come”!
I don't need the approval of man, I don't even need my own approval, I just need God's approval!
