When looking for approval or the true value of something, it has to be real.
From any antique we possess, to the way we live our lives, someone will need to look at it to judge it favorably or unfavorably.
Just like the Apostle Paul, and the others with him, we have to show that we are real.
Real when it comes to spreading the Word and how we live our lives.
That we are faithful ministers and servants of God, acting and handling things in a proper way.
We do this by showing patience in the time of affliction, standing on good principles, and by maintaining our temper and behavior.
That we, as believers, know that it is by the grace of God we are real.
That we are nothing on our own but possess the ability to do and handle all things through Him.
All showing a life full of value.
A value that keeps us on a Heavenly path.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Heavenly Father, we should be careful in all things to approve ourselves to You. Remembering that this approval is shown in the way we handle any afflictions and our behavior. How we adhere to the Word. Knowing that by Your grace we are blessed and can do it. Thank You Lord.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen
