My Child,
You can always find ways to get what you want or to get your way. Just because something works, though, does not mean it’s right in my sight. What good could come from using someone or something to manipulate others, or even to try to move people with your own good intentions? Without Me and My righteousness, anything that seems to be working ultimately will not last. I know that many times doing the right thing in my sight seems useless. Remember, though, that there is something more important than results, and that is My righteousness in you. What you do My way will ultimately build a foundation of integrity, which will be rewarded with My favor and blessing on your life. It is what you do when no one but Me sees that truly reflects your heart and commitment to Me. Now let’s make whatever is wrong right together.
Love,
Your King who knows what works
There is a way that seems right to man,
But in the end it leads to destruction. - Proverbs 16:25
Treasure of Truth
Just because it works does not make it right.
