Control feels like safety, but it’s actually exhaustion in disguise.

Gal 1:10 “Am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”

How do we break free of living for the approval of others?

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love. Perfect love drives out fear.

1. Fall in Love with Jesus

2. Live from Acceptance not for Acceptance.

Romans 5:8 While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

3. Live with the right filter

Colossians 3: 23-24 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.
