I want everyone to like me. Which is impossible. And exhausting. I learned a lot about my fear of rejection during my time with a counselor. If you wrestle with being a people pleaser as well, this is for you (and me):
“Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God?” Galatians 1:10
Sometimes questions bring more clarity than answers. Who’s approval am I seeking? What am I chasing? What or who is my self-worth rooted in?
It is exhausting to live for the applause and “likes” of people.
It is freeing and rewarding to live for the approval of One.
May our hearts be laser focused on the attention and affection of our Father. –Sandi
