Validation

Society often measures our worth by social media likes, titles or applause. Yet the deepest need of the human heart is not approval from others, but spiritual affirmation. God validates us not by our achievements, but by our adoption. Scripture declares, “Even before he made the world, God chose us to be his very own” (Ephesians 1:4, TLB). You were known, wanted and chosen long before you sought anyone’s approval on earth.

When you live for God’s validation, you are no longer a prisoner to people’s opinions. His voice speaks louder than comparison or insecurity. In Christ, you are enough. You do not need to strive to belong; you already do. His love silences every inner doubt and replaces it with a sense of purpose.

God’s validation is not earned at all; it is embraced. Today, rest in who He says you are. You are beloved, appointed, and significant.
