It's been awhile since the last post. Life gets busy. Sometimes I put too much pressure on myself to write something profound, and wind up writing nothing at all. But when God makes you a writer, you just need to write. When God makes you a painter, you just need to paint. When God makes you a singer, you just need to sing. It doesn't matter if other people like what you produce, only that He is pleased with you. The desire for others to appreciate us is natural, but it can be a distraction from our purpose. We perform for an audience of one, and everyone else can be blessed (or not) by what pleases Him.

Focus on the Lord

Seek only His approval

Be pleasing to Him
