Lately, I've found myself asking for approval a lot in my prayers. For people to say i'm doing ok in my Christian walk, it's not doing the job anymore. I think most of us just want to know whether of not we are doing enough, whether or not we are good enough or will our moment in the judgement seat be the most agonizing thing we will ever experience?
I've come to a few conclusions though. I don't think our Father meant for us to go through life wondering this all the time. He gave us guidelines to follow and if we follow them, we should know (by faith or by fact) that we are doing ok. Second, God has a way of letting us know if we are doing ok. Admit it....the majority of times, when we do something, we automatically know if we are doing ok, don't we? If we are doing ok, we feel it.
Sometimes, I just think, "If someone would just tell me I'm doing ok, things would be so much easier." Then, it's as if the Lord says, "Be still and listen....I'll tell you." It's an ongoing project. I find myself refusing to settle for the way things are. It's part of what keeps me busy and keeps me growing. I love to hear Him tell me that I'm doing ok!
