Healing From People Pleasing.Sample

As believers, we are to be lovers of people and seek to live in peace with everyone. But living in peace with those around us cannot come at the cost of compromising what is pleasing to God. Understand that when you are living a life pleasing to God, you will face opposition, and many will not understand or even support it.

Living a life pleasing to God will require you to:

1.  Set boundaries (in everything).

2.  Say NO to a lot of things.

3.  Say YES to what seems odd to others.

4.  Use different language and have a renewed mindset.

5.  Leave the old behind and chase after the new.

6.  Pursue what God has asked YOU to do.

These things will naturally be uncomfortable to man and people-pleasing will hold you back from chasing after all that God has for you. It will cause you to settle for less than God’s best for your life. 

Proverbs 29:25 says, “Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.”
