Joyce Meyer: Promises for Your Everyday Life - a Daily Devotional Day 326
Galatians 1:10 10Am
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.
Devotional
Be a God-Pleaser, Not a Man-Pleaser
Are you the person God
created you to be or are you living 'to please men'? According to this
scripture, God's will is for us to please Him and be what He wants us to
be.
When we choose to be the person God created us to be - unique
and different than everybody else - we have to expect some criticism.
But you won't like yourself very much if you go against your own
convictions.
See, going along with the crowd, when you know in
your heart that God's leading you a different way, is one reason people
don't succeed at being themselves.
I want to encourage you to
step out and be the person God made you to be. Don't let the way another
person treats you or responds to you determine your worth. Have the
courage to be different and deal with criticism.
Remember that God accepts you and loves you. He made you the way you are for a reason, and you have something special to offer.
Prayer
Starter: God, I don't want to live trying to please men. I dare to be
different. I want to win Your favor and be the person You made me to be.
