2 Corinthians 13, Galatians 1 - 2
10Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
~Galatians 1:10
~Galatians 1:10
This verse in Galatians always stands out to me. Who am I trying to please? Am I more interested in what the world, or sometimes the church, thinks about me, or am I consistently concerned with what God thinks? If I'm honest, I would probably have to say that more often than not I worry more about what my peers will think than my Lord and Savior.
Why is it that we concern ourselves with worldly ideas? Why do we care what someone else thinks of us?
I know so often there are things that I should say (and sometimes things that I shouldn't say) but I don't (or I do) because I know that it is what is expected of me. Wouldn't I be reflecting Christ much better if I stopped myself and thought about what God would want of me?
I know this is so obvious, and yet, I still struggle with this.
Lord, please give me the strength and conviction to please you with my actions and words, regardless of what the world around me thinks.

Yes, that is my big problem. I still worry about what people will think about me, speak about me...but I need to worry, what God will think. Nobody has His power and nobody will save us...
And what is sad, I know it, but my acting is still same. Do you have advice, how to fight with it?
Sorry for my english :-)I´m happy I found your blog, you are doing great work!!!
