People Pleaser No More

Making friends with people around me was not an issue and never been an issue for me. The main problem to me during those times was the eagerness in me to please them, to do things they want me to do, to satisfy every demands, and to give their expectations all for their own satisfaction.


I lived that kind of life during my senior years in high school. I did every little thing just to make people around me proud. I was afraid to commit mistake. I was so paranoid of what people might think about me if i would not be able to do what they want. I observed my words, my actions, everything. That little expectation in me ruined my life so much. It brought a lot of confusion within myself, unending demands followed me. I was in my first year of being a Christian that time. Everything was unclear. Confusing. I was in need of someone who could make me feel that I am still worthy despite of failing. And I am glad Jesus showed me that I can have that 'someone' in Him.


Jesus' unfailing and unconditional love will always be enough for me to humble myself before anyone and anything. As I dwell in His word, I realized that what people say about me will not make me any lesser, what matter most is how many times God smiled back in every humility that I showed and in every weaknesses I had wherein His strength prevails. I learned how to please God and to show boldness on what i truly believed in.

"So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it." 2 Corinthians 5:9

As I go through the journey of my life, there are still people who will never get tired of saying bad things about me. Don't get me wrong, i love criticism, but critic me in a nice way. I am not perfect, but God is on a process of making the best out of me.
In the midst of an imperfect me, there are people who still believe in me :) Thank you! To God be the glory.

Thank you for believing in me, you don't know how you made me feel. I will make HIS name great! :)
