Dear Daughter,

Formed.

Isaiah 43:1 (ESV)

43 But now thus says the Lord,
he who created you, O Jacob,
    he who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
    I have called you by name, you are mine.

Revelation 5:10 (TPT)

¹⁰ You have chosen us to serve our God
    and formed us into a kingdom of priests
    who reign on the earth.”

We have been created for a purpose, chosen by name, we are kingdom priests. We were formed on purpose for a purpose that will unwind step by step as we journey through. What do we have to fear when God has put His stamp of approval on us? We reign on earth, it is time to step up and out so that we can live as we have been formed to live.

Kingdom priests who reign on the earth.

Your loving sister Amanda.

Dear Daughter,

Approval.

Galatians 1:10 (ESV)

¹⁰ For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

2 Corinthians 10:18 (TPT)

¹⁸ So let’s be clear. To have the Lord’s approval and commendation is of greater value than bragging about oneself.

Who am I seeking approval from? A good question as we have to please our employer or the interviewer or school. What about if I only focus on my Jesus? When Jesus is my focus, He sorts everything else. I work for Jesus not just my boss, I put Jesus first when I go for an interview and I take Jesus into school with me. I want people to see Jesus not me.

So, let’s be clear.

Your loving sister Amanda.

Dear Daughter of Almighty God

Approval

Galatians 1:10 (ESV)

¹⁰ For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Who’s approval do we need men or God’s? We can find ourselves trying to please man without even thinking about it. How often though do we get man’s approval? Normally not very often as how they are looking at something is different from how you will be seeing things.

We are all very different and see things from a different perspective because we are different; we have different upbringing, different experiences in life, different thoughts, well just different in every way. God made us all different on purpose, I think may be because He likes to laugh.

It is God’s approval we should seek because He should be first and foremost in our hearts and minds, in our every thought. Putting God first means we can call on His wisdom, knowledge and understanding anytime we need it. The best way to please God is to put faith and love to work in our lives and to do this we will need His wisdom, knowledge and understanding in all situations.

God’s approval is all that counts.

Your loving sister Amanda
