Whose Approval?
From Your Father in Heaven
MY CHILD,
All Men want to gain approval. This is a great motivating force in every human heart. The desire for approval is the strongest soul drive in a person. It is equivalent to the hunger drive in the body. As the body needs food, so the soul needs approval.
Approval -- whose approval? This drive in man must be met and will be met in humans. Where do you get approval? How is this drive met?
When I created mankind, I intended this drive for approval to first be met by Me, the Lord God, and Heavenly Father; then by others. For example:
The approval a child needs from a Father, The approval a laborer needs from a boss, The approval a worshiper needs from a God.
There is nothing wrong with wanting the approval of others if you seek Mine first.
Learn how men of old got My approval.
They got it by faith, by hearing My words, and by knowing Me, by hearing My word, and trusting Me, by faith, they gained approval; by faith you may have My approval.
I love you, Your Father who awaits you

Life has seasons of 'red, yellow, and green lights' that are part of a greater, purposeful rhythm. Finding peace means trusting this rhythm and using each season constructively, especially the pauses.
