—Ephesians 1:11-19

It is tempting to join in the lifelong competition for popularity. We naturally tend to look for approval and acceptance from other people. While some of us may easily find that acceptance, others struggle, always feeling like they are on the outside. Today’s Scripture reminds us that as Christians, we are never on the outside. We are loved and accepted by our Heavenly Father! He has guaranteed our inheritance; we are children of the King. That is all the acceptance and approval we need. Rejoice in that identity and go forth in peace, knowing you are loved!
