I am a people pleaser at heart. I have always been this way.
However, when I met my husband, he slowly made one of his missions to make me strive to be a God pleaser.
Anyone who has met my husband knows that he only concerns himself with pleasing one person....and that is his Lord and Savior. I think that may be part of the 10 commandments? You shall have no other gods before me?
See, when we spend our energy and time trying to just please others, or make sure we "do the southern belle thing", we take our eyes off our real goal. We should be spending all our time finding ways to please our Father in heaven. If we do this, everything else falls into place, or doesn't matter.
I want to surround myself with positive people who think the same way I do....who only want to please God. Then we can all go out and show the world the light of Christ, without judgement, hatred, prejudice, or jealousy.
I Thessalonians 2:4
"On the contrary, we speak as men approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please men but God, who tests our hearts."
