Excerpt:
Am I now seeking human approval, or God’s approval? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
- Galatians 1:10.
Living for God’s approval rather than human acclaim doesn’t mean setting ourselves up against other people. In fact, loving our neighbour is pretty high up the list of things that please God!
Ask yourself where there is any tension in your life between pleasing people, and pleasing God. Are you content with how you navigate this tension? Take your reflections to God in prayer.
