Galatians 1:10 Whom do you strive to please? People or God?

 Good morning everyone. God  is good all the time, all the time God is good. Just remember: God is GREAT; People are CRAZY!

   As we begin our life here on earth we start out all about ourselves. As babies we cry to be fed, to change diapers, to go to sleep, when we wake up.  Then as we go from milk to meat we tend to want to please others.

  We do things to please our parents, our friends, our family, then teachers, boss, colleagues at work, and so on.  But whom should we really be trying to please?

  If we do everything as if working for GOD then we will just automatically please the above mentioned.  What does the Bible say?

   Galatians 1: 10 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.

  We are called to love God, serve Him in all we do, and in doing so we will love and please people.  However, our approval needs to come from God.  Why? So that when the end comes God/Jesus will say, "well done good and faithful servant".  This is our calling.

   If you and I live to please people only we are asking for trouble and failure; BUT, if we live for God our reward will be heavenly.

   When we love God and strive to be a servant unto the LORD, our love for others will come freely, it will be easy.  Just remember, the life serving the LORD is not a cakewalk, nor without rough bumps in the road, but it is well worth it.

   Thank you for reading with me today. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
