pleasing God first

with our hectic lifestyle nowadays especially with city living people, pleasing everyone around us seems to be an impossible task, it just never ends. we've got our bosses, our clients, our colleagues, our friends, our family, ourselves and God. most of us as we start our day at work, the cycle of pleasing people begins and it just keeps repeating itself. now....i am not saying that pleasing people is wrong but probably we got our priorities in pleasing wrong.....you see....we become so indulged in this cycle of pleasing that sometimes we forget to please our God at the end of the day (something that we need to do first b4 pleasing anybody else)

when God made us, he equipped us with an array of talents and abilities that are uniquely ours. it's up to us to discover those talents and to use them, but sometimes the world seems to encourage us to do otherwise. at times, society will attempt to corner us down, standardize us and make us fit in a particular, pre-formed mould. but guess what ? maybe God has other plans that we have kinda forgotten coz all these society stuff is just making us neglect HIM.

sometimes, becoz we're not perfect, we may become so wrapped up in meeting society's expectations that we fail to focus on God's expectations. to do so is a big mistake...so please don't make this mistake. instead, you should focus your energies on becoming the best "you" that you can possibly be. and when it comes to matters of conscience, seek approval not from men but from God.

so....who will you try to please today: God or man ? our primary obligation is not to please imperfect men and women. our obligation is to strive diligently to meet the expectations of an all-knowing and perfect God. Trust HIM always, love HIM always, praise HIM always, and seek to please HIM always

if you are burdened with a "people-pleasing" personality, outgrow it through the strength from God. realize that you can't please all the people all the time, nor should you attempt to. have a nice day and God Bless !!
