Dear One,

Every child cries out in their heart for their mother and father’s approval. Something great happens when a mom or dad says to their child — “We are so very proud of you.”

When a father says to his daughter — “You are always Daddy’s loved little girl.” Father God gave us His announcement of His approval of us in His Son Jesus saying —“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:17).

The Bible shows us Jesus’ ministry had the approval of His Father God — long before Jesus performed any miracle.  Some people think of course God would speak His approval of Jesus — not usually of us.

Beloved — The Truth — Jesus came for you — as you — for your example.  Yes!  Jesus died — was the first born-again — for you — as you.  Jesus received His Father God’s approval for you — as you.  Jesus came representing you — for you — as you.

Then God tells you in His Word that YOU are “accepted in the Beloved”!  Very specifically God said — “accepted in the Beloved” — not simply “accepted in Christ”.   Can it be?  God is calling to your remembrance what had happened at the Jordan river on the day of Jesus being baptized where He said — “This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

God expects you to know — YOU are His beloved!  He is well pleased with YOU.  God sees YOU as His Beloved!  He made YOU accepted — approved —  in Jesus — The Beloved.  Yes!

Father God expects you to wake up every day hearing — knowing in your heart — you are His Beloved!  You are His unconditionally loved — forever wholly approved.

There is nothing you can do to get Father God to approve you more — love you more — love you less — forever hold you in His heart!  He loves YOU!  Done!  God’s love has no — “Buts?”

The more you understand how much God loves you — treasures you — the more you expect good, great things to happen in your life.  You expect to be healthy — blessed — whole (lacking nothing) in every area of your life.  Yes!  Accepted — Approved!  Done!
