Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.(kjv)
Galatians 1:10 Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.(NLT)
Wow!! What a scripture!!
You can never make everybody happy in life. Trying to please people will always lead to frustrations. Many a times, people live an outward life that is far from their private life. They do or say things to win the approval of men but of a truth, it is only God you need approval from. Everything on earth will pass away but the lord will always be there. An eternity-minded person can not be bound by the appetites of the world. He seeks to know the will of God and how to please him.

God bless you brethren!!!
Yep, I often focus too much on what others think when I need to focus on what God thinks of me. I'll never measure up to people's standards but with Jesus' sacrifice God sees me as His child.
Thanks for given us the word today
The only one we need to please is God and nothing more or less .... And as men we are prone to gearing away from the path of God especially when we follow our feelings and passions
