Random Ramblings Of An Imperfect Girl, Loved by a Perfect God.

This is a hard one for me to write because this is a problem I have had for as long as I can remember. One of my biggest anxiety triggers is people pleasing. If someone doesn’t like me I will bend over backwards and change almost anything about myself in order to get that person to like me. And if the person still doesn’t like me after I have changed things and tried everything to “fix” things, I will beat myself up and tear myself down worrying to the point of physical pain or sickness as my perceived punishment.

“For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.”—Galatians 1:10-12 KJV

We are not meant to please others. We were created by God for his purpose and glory. People change and the world changes. Trends and fads come and go with seasons, but God always remains the same. He loves us for who we are imperfections and all. He walks with us through this ever changing world and he is our one constant we can always depend on.
