I sought your appreciation for my works, because I didn’t hear God’s approval on it.

I sought your appreciation for my works because I didn’t seek God’s approval FIRST. And because of the uncertainty I have about God’s stand in my works, there is a void (nakedness) in me, which makes me desperately yearn for human appreciation (garden leaves) in other to fill that void (cover the shame).

“Oh God, I am so sorry. I am so sorry for my foolishness. I am sorry for thinking that just by doing any ‘good work’ I could have your blessings and approval without asking for it. What level of pride?
Forgive my pride Oh Lord. Forgive me for thinking I could do it all without you.

I step back!

How big the void when God isn’t filling it. How vastly empty our souls when God isn’t in our spirit. Oh God, what made created things like us think we could do (anything) without the creator, when it’s stated clearly in the Bible, “Without me, ye can do NOTHIING.”?

I yearned for your appreciation because didn’t hear God’s approval.

THE END.
