satisfied with God

"the joy of the Lord is my strength"- David, son of Joseph.


for david, it was good enough that God was pleased with him. is that good enough for you? can you go your entire life with satisfaction in your soul knowing that God is pleased with you. would that be enough? if the Father opened up the heavens tonight, called your name and said "you are my beloved, and i am well pleased with you", would that be enough to satisfy your thirst for approval?


in my life, i am trying so hard to quit seeking for the approval of man and to be cool with knowing that God likes me...but it's hard. example[i'm making this up :0] : if i'm waiting for a day or two for a girl's reply on whether she likes me or not, i will be perplexed and running miles waiting for the reply. but when i finally get the reply, and she says yes, i feel like there's nothing else in the entire world that i need- i'm satisfied. why can't i be satisfied with knowing that God likes me?

Because i know He does.

Are you o.k with God liking you?

Because Adam wasn't, and look how that turned out.

i hope that one day i will be able to declare , like David, that "the joy of the Lord is my strength".
Peace.
