 Here's what God will never approve, and it's actually good that He doesn't. When Jesus called the rich young ruler, He told them to sell all He had. When the Lord called the disciples, He told them to pick up their cross. When Jesus invited someone to follow Him, He demanded that they forsake all for His name's sake. Abraham left his home, Elisha burned the plow, Jesus sweat drops of blood in the garden, praying, nevertheless, not my will, but your will be done. When we follow Jesus, God will not approve our plans in the place of His will. It's not about our dreams and ambitions, our hopes and cravings. When we commit to follow Jesus, it's all or nothing.
