I decided on this verse because it is about the idea of winning approval. I need to remember that I don't get my self-image from other people. People, no matter how much I love them, will never be able to fill the longing I have for approval. Only Christ can do that.
Galatians 1:10, TNIV
Am I now trying to win human approval or God's approval? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people I would not be a servant of Christ.
Two years ago I started learning memory verses as a part of the Memory Verse Team that Beth Moore started on her blog. It has been an amazing way to hear God speak to me through His Word. I decided to ask my friends and family if they will join me in learning new verses this year. On the 1st and 15th of each month we will learn a new verse. I have found that telling my friends about my memory verses is a way to help me keep my commitment to learn a new verse every two weeks. Please share your verse with us by commenting on this blog.
I am a little late.
