3 - in people pleasing


Listen Later

Who else is a people pleaser?  Why is it so difficult to say "no" sometimes?  Join us today as we talk about allowing the Holy Spirit guide us in saying yes instead of feeling obligated in one way or another.

Verses:

  • Galatians 1:10 says, “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God?  Or am I trying to please people?  If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
  • 1 Thess 2:4 talks about this: “On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts.”
  • Proverbs 29:25: “Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.”
  • Colossians 3:23: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,”

Quotes:

  • “If the activity we’re considering is in line with God’s work but our approach to that activity isn’t, we will overdraw ourselves and bankrupt this part of our lives.  A good approach to something requires enough resources to handle the demands of that activity.” -Lysa Terkeurst, "The Best Yes"'
  • “The decisions we make dictate the schedules we keep.  The schedules we keep determine the lives we live.  The lives we live determine how we spend our souls.” -Lysa Terkeurst, "The Best Yes"
  • Someone once said, “The only thing wrong with trying to please everyone is that there’s always at least one person who will remain unhappy. You.”


The Best Yes is a wonderful book by Lysa Terkeurst on this topic.  I love it!
