Monday Commentary - ACCEPTANCE, APPROVAL, or BOTH??

This might be a pretty strong title....before I begin...based on that title, do you believe that you are always accepted and approved of by God??  Or do you think that you are always accepted, but not always approved of by Him?  Or do you feel approved by God, but not accepted by Him?  

Well, those are just some of the questions my AMAZINGLY, AWESOME, STUNNING, MAN OF GOD HUBBY spoke to yesterday...

He provided TRUTH and PROOF that we are ALWAYS 100% permanently & eternally ACCEPTED and APPROVED of by our FATHER!!!  WOW....if this doesn't blow your socks off, I'm not quite sure what would...seriously!!!  

(disclaimer: He never approves and accepts the sin, but always approves and accepts US)

There was so much in this message that I cannot even begin to do justice on, he really did hit a home run yesterday!  So here is just one of the many things that really stuck out and spoke to me...

Our perception of God's face can be scarred and disoriented because we feel that we cannot simply live up to God's standards or that we have a bad taste in our mouth because we are not good enough for Him....

BUT BECAUSE OF JESUS WE NO LONGER HAVE TO WONDER OR WORRY...His face is always shining toward us and on us...and His face is one of approval and acceptance...all we have to do is TRUST HIM and have FAITH IN HIM!! THAT IS IT....as my husband would say, BOTTOM LINE!!!! 

I know personally I have struggled with the "He loves me, He loves me not" thoughts about God and the way He looks at me, I'm beyond grateful for this revelation that I no longer have to worry about whether or not He loves me and approves of me, because JESUS paid it all for ME, and for YOU!!!  And the truth of this makes me want to know Him even more and do everything to walk in His will and way so that His kingdom is advanced :-) 

I'm sad to report, that the video will not be able to make it online....there were some technical difficulties with the sound...I'M SO SORRY!!!!  Stay tuned for next week, we will be starting a new series by my awesome FIL..."In God We Trust" !!!!!!

Happy Monday Xx
