Overcoming People Pleasing Part 2

“Becoming obsessed with what people think about me is the quickest way to forget what God thinks about me.” Craig Groeschel of Lifechurch.tv
People pleasers are fear-based individuals. They fear rejection, judgment, what people think and say, and anger or disapproval. People have become too big and god has become too small.
The second way that I believe we can overcome people pleasing is: ACCEPT REALITY
There will be some people in your life that will not like you. THIS IS OKAY!
You cannot follow Christ and make everyone happy.
You will have enemies.
Sometimes the need to be popular will steal your destiny.
God may not want you to be just like your family.
You will disappoint people. You will be criticized and judged.
You don’t have to be best friends with everyone.
If we would really just accept this I believe it would help us tremendously. I used to try to get everyone to like me and I got very tired. It can’t happen.
We cannot please everybody but we CAN please God.
