Approval


Galatians 1:10 “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.”

Have you ever been called a people pleaser? I have. It’s true. But being a people pleaser is a huge burden to carry. People are fickle; people change their minds by the moment. That is a burden we were never created or called to have.

We are called/commanded to love people. Mark 12:30-31 tells us the two greatest commandments: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

We are called to love others, not win their approval. Be free!!!
