Everyone wants to be accepted and well liked. Who doesn’t? No one wants to be shunned or rejected, that certainly does not feel good, does it? Therefore, at a certain level we all seek approval from others. The danger is when we desire that acceptance or approval at any cost. It becomes our motivation and driving force. Paul understands this dichotomy especially when it concerns itself with staying true to the grace of God—“If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ,” Paul writes to the Galatians. We will address how we know we are being a “people-pleaser” and how we can overcome that in our lives!
