Are you a people pleaser? So am I. Do you fret over what people think of you? Do you constantly worry whether or not you did something right or wrong in other people’s eyes?
Ultimately the only one who can decide whether something is right or wrong is God Himself. Ultimately the only thing that matters is whether or not we are a children of God whereby we come in contact with the blood of Jesus. Nothing else matters in this temporal world.
I never actually considered myself a people pleaser until now. Now I look back on my life and realize that I was going after temporal things. Knowledge. But whether there is knowledge, it shall vanish away. (1 Corinthians 13:8). I was totally consumed with what other people thought of me. Whereas we should be concerned with how God sees us. And if we are doing God’s will, then there is no need to be concerned with worldly, temporal things.
I remember that the first ATM in Mt Juliet was at The Peoples Bank (now Suntrust) and was called “The People Pleaser”
