I have watched you change your spots to match the colors of your surroundings. To be like another person, to be what you think they approve. I have seen how you have grown and the lack of approval you have experienced. Those you looked to, hadn’t been approved either. They had none to give. There have been those who have approved you briefly, but their purposes were not genuine. So many have needed you to need them.  I did not intend for life to be this way. But I have provided truth for you.  You have My approval. I have set My love over your heart as a seal. Sanctify Me as Lord in your heart. I want you to turn from others and into Me.  Allow Me to be the One who approves you.  It is My desire that you be conformed to My likeness, to live and walk as I did.  You carry My very Presence within you! I work in you and will direct you to understand that you are complete in Me.

Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Colossians 2:9-10 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;  and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

Release! Release! Release! Release your efforts to secure your position. Release your sacrificial service that you do to show yourself worthy of acceptance. You work to be needed for you fear being excluded. “Martha, Martha only one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken from her.”  Be still before Me and get to know Me. I have chosen you. I chose you in your sins, and I knew the plans I had for you, even then. I want you to release the responsibility of you, your house, your body-soul-spirit, your past-present-future, to Me, and receive My provisions. I have provided everything you need for a life of godliness. This provision comes through your knowledge of Me. Your salvation is in repentance and rest. In repentance and rest at My feet you receive the knowledge of Me. Receive today and believe and walk in faith for its out of faith, that you please Me.

2 Peter 1:3 His divine power has given us everything required for the life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.

2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make every grace overflow to you, so that in every way, always having everything you need, you may excel in every good work.
