WAITING FOR VALIDATION

Once, while waiting for a software update to install, the screen read: “Waiting for validation”. It occurred to me that I had done the same; I have waited, actually yearned to be validated by people, things, awards, titles and practically everything else. It’s foolish really. The only thing that can validate the human soul is right standing with God. In Scripture, the Lord Almighty proclaims: “I have called you by name, you are mine.” I need not continue waiting for things that will always fail since the unshakable love of the King of Kings and Lord of Lord’s is my eternal validation. My Lord, My God, I am Yours. You have chosen me, redeemed me, called me, empowered me and sent me forth in Your love and with Your love. It is well with my soul.
