Place your desires before God. Pray about them and trust God to give them to you if and when they’re right for you.
Our desire for approval can only truly be met by receiving God’s acceptance and approval of us.
When we enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, something wonderful happens: God begins to change our desires, and we want to be more like Him.
The day we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior is one of the greatest days of our lives. Not only are our sins washed away, but God puts His Spirit inside of us and gives us new desires.
Regret is distress over a desire unfulfilled or an action performed or not performed.
It's certainly not wrong to want to be a better person. God gave us that desire.
Satan wants us to constantly focus on everything that is wrong with us and look at how far we still have to go. But God desires for us to rejoice in how far we have already come.
