A Life Lesson

Hello,
I promised in yesterday's post that there would be one coming today, so here it is!

Not to long ago, I was reading my daily devotions and it was on how you are supposed to try to please God and not people. I honestly think it is such a struggle sometimes when you are doing something and all you can think about is pleasing someone through what you are doing. But what you really need to be thinking is how can I please God with what I am doing with this moment, and every other moment of my life. It is so hard not to try to work to please people, and I think it is something everyone struggles with at some point in time. But when you find yourself trying to please people, stop and ask yourself, "Why am I trying to please people, when I should be pleasing the Maker of these people."  Something it said in the devotion is- "We really want to be people pleasers, when what we really need to be are God pleasers."

Stop and think about it-
How are you tempted to meet expectations of people who are important to you, rather than resting in what God thinks of you?

Thanks for reading!
XOXO, Abbie
