Approved

Did you know that God was thinking about you before you were ever born? He knew everything about you before you were in your mother’s womb. He said, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew and approved of you...” He created you on purpose, for a purpose. He carefully planned who you would be, the color of your hair, the color of your eyes and skin. He gave you gifts, talents and abilities to be used for His glory. He took one look at you and said, “Approved.”

No matter how you may be feeling right now, no matter who’s approval you didn’t get on this earth, know that God loves you and approves of you today. There’s nothing you can do now, or ever, to change that. You may be thinking, “I’ve made so many mistakes, how can God approve of me?” Understand that when God sees you, He separates you from your behavior. He may not approve of your actions all the time, but He desires to help you grow and make better choices.

Today, decide to release all of the worry and insecurity the enemy is trying to use to keep you feeling less-than. God created you with everything you need to live a victorious life. You just have to accept that truth instead of the lies people (even yourself) have tried to convince you of. The enemy will keep reminding you of mistakes you’ve made to show how you’re not worthy of God’s love or being used in a great way for God. Friends, that’s simply not true! God loves you and is only waiting on YOU to decide that enough is enough!

The enemy has stolen so much from you already, why let him have any more of your peace, your joy, your potential? It is NEVER too late with God! He is eagerly waiting for you to turn to Him and receive His love and acceptance. Allow Him to work in your life. Allow His love to empower and strengthen you because you are approved and equipped to live in victory ALL the days of your life… you just have to believe it!
