As we come to the end of this month’s journey, it is important to remember that Christianity does not end at being accepted into the family of God; it progresses into becoming sons and daughters who bring delight to the Father’s heart. Matthew 3:16–17 reveals that Jesus was not only loved but also approved: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Hebrews 12:1–2 urges us to run the race set before us with patience, looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. The Christian race is a journey from acceptance into divine pleasure, from entry into maturity, and from salvation into sonship.
Beloved, growing beyond acceptance into divine approval is the true mark of spiritual maturity. It is not enough that you are loved by God — you must strive daily to live a life that pleases Him. It requires endurance, faith, discipline, surrender, and consistent pursuit of the Father’s will above personal comfort. Jesus lived every moment conscious of the Father’s pleasure, and He is our model.
As you reflect on this month, evaluate the shifts in your heart, your responses to divine dealings, and your hunger to walk in a manner worthy of the Father’s delight.
I want you to learn that this journey is not a sprint; it is a lifelong race. Each decision to obey, each step of faith, each sacrifice made out of love for the Father, is a step upward into divine approval. As you close this month, renew your commitment to grow daily — to move beyond being merely a beloved child to becoming a trusted, approved, and mature son or daughter. The Father’s heart longs for such sons. May your life, both now and eternally, be a testimony of one who moved from acceptance into divine approval!
THOUGHT TO PONDER: Have you consciously embraced the journey from merely being accepted to becoming approved by the Father? What steps will you take to ensure that you grow daily into a life that consistently pleases Him?
PRAYER: Dear Father, thank You for accepting me through the blood of Jesus and for calling me to grow into a life that pleases You. Help me to run my race with endurance, to fix my eyes on Jesus, and to live daily for Your pleasure. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
