John 5:44
“How can you believe, when you accept praise from one another and do not seek the praise that comes from the only God?”

Are you a people pleaser? Many of us are raised to please others…so that we only feel good inside when we are earning the praise of others. We are trained to be happy only when we make someone else happy or perform in ways they expect. We seem to be trying to become what others expect of us. The shocking truth is that God loves us even when we do nothing. God loved us before we did a thing…and there is nothing we can do to stop God from loving us! God is not like us. Jesus showed us the perfect example of being human. When we are becoming fully what God intended us to become…we are showing the glory of God. What does God want you to become? Listen to the gentle, loving voice in your heart and then follow God’s directions. It may take you on the road less traveled…but will lead you to great peace, joy and wholeness.
