my Father: the approval giving Father

 my Father: the approval giving Father by ric gustafson

Do you work hard to get other people's approval?. It can become an addiction. To be addicted to your ambitions and to strive for people's approval. Worth from approval could become an addiction. It could affect your decision making and affect your relationships. 

In the beginning, Adam had that drive for approval. But sin came and disconnected, broke and twisted that identity as sons. When we don't think we have God's approval, we turn to work instead. Without that identity as a son of God, we strive for success and achievement ourselves. 

How do we break this cycle?. It's simple. We need to turn back to God. We need God's approval instead of our own. To get God's approval, we need to believe in his Son Jesus. 

We need grace not guilt. God loves us more than anything else.
