God wired us for
relationships each and everyone of us desires to be loved, appreciated and
valued. There is nothing wrong with our
desires to be accepted, appreciated, and approved by others without the
affirmation of others we never fully blossom into our full potential, we need
each other know our weaknesses and strengths, someone to encourage, cheer us on
and to believe in us. Encouragement is absolutely essential to your health and
development. In all we do our aim should be to Please God and not people just
as bill Cosby once said “I do not know
the key to success but I do know the way to fail is to try and please everyone.
When you value anyone’s opinions more than God’s, you give that person power and authority that only belongs
to God
Its fine to be sweet and
loving towards others but do not let it turn you into peoples puppet, be
a pleaser of God obey his commandments, follow his teachings and love each
other, the bible warns us not to let the fear of of disapproval keep us from
doing what we know God wants us to do. If you feel God has called you to preach
go for it be a minister of the gospel,
preach till you drop, its something you do with passion but don’t fold
up in a corner just because a single soul whispered in your ears that you cant
be a preacher, Never allow anyone else to stand in the way of your relationship
with Christ, people pleasing is an emotional handicap. It immobilizes your
potential proverbs 29:25 says “The fear of human opinion disables” of course,
any fear will hinder your spiritual growth, but worrying about what others
think is especially disabling. When opinions of others loom large in your life,
Gods role in your life is reduced. But
when God’s approval matters most to you, The views of others lose their grip on
your life. Until you break free from the fear of disapproval, God will can’t use you the way
he wants to.
