Reflection
One of the quiet fears that shapes our decisions is the fear of letting others down. I lived with that fear for years.
In some ways, it is co-dependent; in other ways, it is people pleasing.
In every way… it is not healthy.
What happened to me is I lost myself while trying to be all things to all people.
The truth is that most of the time we spend worrying about disappointing or pleasing others is wasted energy.
Freedom begins when we shift our focus from pleasing people to honoring God. When we walk trying to please Him, the pressure of everyone else’s expectations begins to fade.
I always write from experience.
Soul Search
Whose approval are you chasing right now—and is that pursuit keeping you from faithfully doing what God has called you to do?
Proverbs 29:5, “Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.”
