For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Galatians 1:10 ESV
That a powerful verse. Every time I heard this verse it confronts me yet again, who am I serving? While in my heart I desire to live my life wholly for God and no one else, the desires and demands of this world creep in anf before I know it, I’m a mess over something that happened, at work, at home, online. All it takes is a few mean words and I’m falling to pieces.
So I am I leaving all the people pleasing desires behind? No, not really. If I truely, only cared about what God though, then what the people around me were saying or doing shouldn’t effect me. If I know what I’m doing is right before God, then nothing anyone says or does should be able to convince me otherwise.
I praying that I will be conformed by the renewing of my mind so that the things of this world lose their hold on me and that my life will be a living sacrifice fully given over to God.
