You long to have the Father’s approval. You can receive it. In the life of His beloved Son, God has shown us the way. Jesus walked in obedience and gave Himself in serving others. He humbled Himself deeply, identifying with sinners in the River Jordan, drawing from the Father words of approval: ‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.’ You, too, will have the Father’s approval if you show the same attitude of humble obedience and service as did Jesus. (Matthew 3:17, Philippians 2:5-8)
