Run / Rest: A 40 Day Journey Toward Rest

DAY 16 OF 40

In a world where people are busy chasing followers, likes, and blue checkmarks, can you rest in the knowledge that there is no one’s approval you need to run after?

📖 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗: Ephesians 2:4-10

👓 𝗢𝗕𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗘

❓According to these verses, what do we have to do to prove ourselves to God? ❗️Nothing!

✅ 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗟𝗬  

What are you trying to prove? Who are you trying to prove yourself to? God says that you are a masterpiece created in Jesus to do good works. Does knowing that allow you to rest assured that you don’t have run after the approval of others or to fight to prove yourself?

Ask God to remind you that you don’t have to prove yourself to God or to anyone. You are accepted by God. Your need for approval has already been taken care of. Try to live from the knowledge that you are approved of by God. Take a moment to write these words — “I am loved. I matter. I belong.”
