WHO DO YOU WANT TO PLEASE

Who Do You Want To Please

Scripture:

"Do you think I am trying to make people
accept me? No, God is the one I am
trying to please. Am I trying to please
people? If I still wanted to please people,
I would not be a servant of Christ.
(Galatians 1:10) NCV

Reflection:

Everybody wants to be loved, everybody wants
to be accepted, everybody cares what other
people think of them. I have a hard time
accepting statements like "I don't care what
anybody thinks", or "I don't try to please
anybody". As I have experienced life, i've
discovered these statements are just not true.
I have never met anybody, in my 60 years on
this earth, that absolutely did not want to be
accepted, or did not have someone they wanted
to please in their life. I think the question
that begs to be answered is "who". Who are you
trying to please? Who do you want to accept you?
As for me it is God. I already know that my God
accepts me, His Son's death and resurrection proves
that. Therefore if I believe God accepts me, then I
certainly want to please Him. I want to please Him
in every way. I do this through my faith in God and
His Son, through my study of His Word, through
living my life as His child, and loving my neighbors
and loving my enemies as He love's me. Boy to
tell the truth my life is so much happier, and much
better, when I try to please God. How about you?
Be honest with yourself. Who are you trying to
please?

Prayer:

Oh mighty God, Thank You for Your grace and love.
Thank You that You have accepted me. I want to
please You God and only You. You are the meaning
of my life, You are my savior, and the giver of eternal
life. THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING GOD
In Jesus Name Amen
