John 5:41 NLT “Your approval means nothing to me,

Jesus didn’t care about the approval or praise of the Jewish leaders. He knew He was already approved by God, and that’s all that mattered to Him.

A lot of us are still looking for the approval of men. Ministers looking for the approval of other ministers, employees looking for approval from their supervisors, and children looking for approval from their parents. As much as we like being accepted, everyone is not going to accept us or applaud what we’re doing. This especially can be difficult to accept when it comes to a relationship between a child and a parent. 

Although we won’t win everyone’s approval, if we’re approved by God, that’s all that matters. How do we get approved by God? Make Jesus Christ Lord and Savior. By making Him Lord, we no longer attempt to promote our own agenda. We’re vessels to do the will of God. Whatever He tells us to do, even if everyone doesn’t approve, we’re approved, accepted, praised, and loved by God. And God’s approval outweighs any person’s approval.
