Scripture Reference: “According to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” – Ephesians 1:5-6 (KJV)
Devotion: So many people exhaust themselves trying to be accepted by the world; changing how they look, talk, or live just to fit in with others. The truth is, the world’s approval is fleeting and often comes at the cost of compromising our values. But God reminds us that our true acceptance is not found in people, but in Him.
When we realize we have already been accepted in Christ, we no longer need to chase after validation from others. His acceptance is rooted in unconditional love, unchanging truth, and eternal purpose. Living for God’s approval means walking in confidence, knowing that we are chosen, loved, and valued far beyond what the world can ever offer.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding me that I am accepted in You. Forgive me for the times I sought approval from others more than Your will. Help me to walk boldly in the identity You have given me and to rest in Your love and acceptance. May my life reflect Your glory and point others to the only true source of validation; Jesus Christ. In His name, Amen.
Amen 🙏🏾
Lord, I thank you that I am not in this world to receive validation from people only from you. You are how I came into existence. May I continue to live in you. AMEN
