Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 2 [4] On the contrary, we speak as men approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please men but God, who tests our hearts.<\/p>\n
Observation: Most of my life I needed approval from others whether it was my parents, family or other people around me. I would do whatever it took to get praise from people or even make up stories to impress others. Since I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior I\u2019m doing better but far from where I should be. <\/p>\n
Application: Before I do or say anything I just see how it affects my relationship with God. I should be a joy to God I want Him to look forward to being with me as I am with Him. I should be doing things that bring a smile to His face and live a life that pleases him.<\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Lord I strive for the day I meet you face to face and may I live my life in such a way that when I do see you I will hear the words I so desperately what to hear, \u201c Well done good and faithful servant.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
