People Pleasing (Part 1)

"Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ." ~ Galatians 1:10

One of the things I had to be delivered from in my life is people pleasing.

Often times, we're so caught up on pleasing people, or making them happy, or not disappoint them, or tip-toeing around them, that we end up not doing the things that God has called us to do.

But make no mistake - to please God, you will have to disappoint people.

It's inevitable. There's no escaping it.

The quicker you learn that lesson, the quicker you can walk into your destiny.

More to come!

God bless,
J.W.

A Study of Romans 8:28 (Part 2)

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." - Romans 8:28

God will always give us what we need to accomplish His purpose (Phillipians 4:19).

So, as my Pastor says, if something doesn't work out the way you thought or you don't gain favor with a specific person the way you planned, that doesn't mean that God isn't working in your life.

It simply means that that person or thing was not necessary for your destiny.

Shake the dust off your feet (Matthew 10:14) and move on to what God has in store for you.

God bless,
J.W.
