                          Are you pleasing God?

   As we read more of God’s word, we come to know and understand important things about ourselves.
Many people are trapped in the pattern of wanting approval from others. If people around them are not supportive they feel discouraged and defeated.
As we take a closer look at Jesus and His relationship patterns, we see that He loved people and showed that love in every area of His ministry, however His source of approval was not from people but from His Father.
We must have God’s approval above all others, everyone is not going to approve of everything we do, but if we are pleasing to God that is what counts.
 John 5:44, “H ow can you believe if you except praise from one another? Yet make no effort to obtain praise that comes from God.” Set a side some time to have a heart to heart with God, Jesus did, and how much more important it is for us. He can help you to examine your motives and make necessary changes, the main change is to please God and not man. God will set you free.
