Why people-pleasing is not what God wants for you

To have You REMARK THE influx of media marketing lately? Job After job offers seminars Or study programme has help You "be THE best You" that You can be because You deserve has live your dreams Or change THE world with your passion.

Am I THE only A WHO feels pain of anxiety When I look on these posts? There East almost A subliminal message that says:

You are not GOOD enough. You need has to try Stronger. Everyone other East solve has TO DO better. You had better keep up THE pace.

I don't do it know about You, but THE very idea of these accusations send Me look For A paper bag has breathe in.

When I to start has feel overwhelmed by A dam of "I should, I would like, I could" thought, I to have learned It is time has stop THE voice In My head.

I don't do it know about You, but comparing myself has others East exhausting. Again, be A medium child And A born please people, My natural default East has compare myself has those more motivated that Me. And When I TO DO that I lose––every time.

Lose What ? I am thrilled You request.

Life For THE approval of others East Never A worthy aim. Let's go confront he; people pleasant East A moving target. We have all heard "You can't please all THE people all THE time," SO if You are A people to please, You will exhaust yourself trying has measure up has everyone the other standard For success.

When You bow has THE standard of others, you go Also lose peace of spirit. Because You will permanently compare yourself has how others are TO DO, Or change your goals base on THE comments of others.

SO, What can You TO DO? For Me freedom Since people pleasant came In A number of manners. First of all And first of all was When I went to My life has Jesus as My Lord And Saviour because THE Spirit of God gave Me new life In Christ.

Once slave has My intrusions And sins, I find God together Me free. By THE power of Her stay Spirit, Gods peace began has ruler In My heart And spirit In Christ Jesus (see Romans 6 And Philippians 4:7).

When I accomplished that God created Me For Her glory And not My own, I learned THE most important person has please was THE Lord My God. Wow––what A relief!

No longer did I need has seek THE approval of others.

THE only standard I had has live up has was THE A Jesus called Me has In relationship with Him.

SO What East that standard?

In Brand 12:30-31, THE religious leaders request Jesus What was THE priority of life. Jesus' answer was double:

Love God with all of your be. Love others.

NOW, don't do it be tent has simplify This statement has mean, "God doesn't care about My fishing; all that imported East love." Because THE truth East, if You are magnet God with your entire be, SO THE evidence of that love East your desire has to walk In obedience has Her orders.

Jesus said:“If You love Me You will keep My commandments”(John 2:15 p.m.). SO, There is No path around he. If You are going has please God alone SO your love For Him will cause You has to walk In obedience has Him.

THE second part of Jesus' answer In Brand 12 was has love others as We love ourselves. Here is THE interesting part of that statement. We can't love others In THE disinterested path God orders until We are life In love with Jesus. Because When We love Him correctly, What spills out of We East Her disinterested love For others.

When You live has know And love THE Lord And Her love spills out of your life on those around You, You will to have learned THE secret has breakup free of that people like.

You see, as You draw close has God, He promises has draw close has You. And THE closer You to walk has Jesus, THE more clearly You will to have THE spirit of Christ has discern What He would be to have You TO DO with your life – rather that comparing yourself has What others are TO DO with their lives (see James 4:8, 1 Corinthians 2:16).

There East Nothing fake with look in front has together a few Led by God goals. You would be be wise has every day spend calm time alone with THE Lord has seek Her will For your life.

But more important that setting goals East THE time You spend with Jesus. Because time with Him through pray, Bible Study, And waiting In Her presence East THE secret has life THE life You were supposed has live.

And When You solve has live In Her presence, You will find THE key has freedom Since people pleasant.
