Good Faithनमूना

Any people pleasers out there? If you aren’t, you probably at least know somebody who is! For that type of person, it’s simply their nature to want to make sure other people are happy with them. You want to make sure your spouse is happy with you; you want to make sure your boss is happy with you, you want to make sure your friends are happy with you, you want to make sure your Small Group is happy with you. If it sounds like a lot, that’s because it is! What’s harder is that the same belief system usually translates toward our relationship with God.

We think that if we can simply do whatever we need to do to please God, we’ll be good to go in life. But as the writer of Hebrews reminds us, there’s only one way to please God, and that’s to have faith. Our faith in Him is all it takes. When we come to Him, believe in Him, and follow Him with our lives faithfully, we can cease our hearts from striving and rest in knowing God is pleased with us. Why? Simply because of our faith! Today, ask God to open your eyes to where you might be striving or trying to please Him. Ask God to help you instead rest in the reality that your faith in Him is all it takes.
