Devotional
We were created not for the applause of people, but to worship God. Being liked by others does not compare to being loved by God. As we lay our need for approval at Jesus' feet, we find freedom in living a life of worship and love. By focusing on God's love for us and our love for Him, we discover true fulfillment and joy. Let us rise in boldness, living not for the fleeting approval of others but for the eternal approval of our Creator.

Bible Verse
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." — Hebrews 11:6

Reflection Question
How can you shift your focus from seeking approval to living a life of worship and love for God?

Sermon Quote
"We weren’t made to be liked. We were made to be loved by God—and to love Him in return."

Prayer
Loving Father, I lay down my desires for approval at Your feet. Fill me with Your love and guide me to live a life of worship that honors You. Amen.
