Your Approval Alone

My first tears of the summer were shed least night. It was a long day and feelings of inadequacy and helplessness swept over me. Once the tears started, I had a hard time stopping them. I sat outside (the temp still pretty warm but humidity down at 11pm) and cried out to my God. I asked things, in between sobs, such as why He chose me when I have nothing to offer. The Lord showed me that I was looking at things in terms of men and trying to please men instead of the Lord. He showed me that my only true task this summer is to seek His face and learn His ways more. Through that, He will outpour through me the love and other tasks I have for the summer. Summer task number one: seek approval from my Lord alone!
