There will always be people in life who try to squeeze you
into their mold; people who try to pressure you into being who THEY want you to
be. They may be good people. They may even mean well. But the problem is that
they aren’t your creator. They didn’t breathe life into you. They didn’t equip
you, empower you or anoint you; God did!
People may not be able to grasp God’s plan for your life.
But that’s okay, it’s YOUR plan; specially designed by your Creator. If you’re
going to be all that God created you to be, you can’t focus on what everybody
else thinks. If you allow yourself to change with every criticism, trying to
win the favor of others, then you’ll go through life being manipulated and
letting PEOPLE direct your destiny.
You have to realize that you can’t keep every person happy.
You can’t make everyone like you. You’ll never win over all of your critics. When
you get up in the morning, instead of trying to please people, ask your loving
heavenly Creator to search your heart. Ask God if your ways are pleasing to HIM.
Stay focused on that.
Free yourself with this truth today. If people don’t
understand you, that’s okay. If you lose some friends because you wouldn’t let
them control you, they weren’t true friends anyway. You don’t need other’s
approval; you only need God’s approval. Keep your heart and mind submitted to
Him and be free from people pleasing!
