Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.
Galatians 1:10 NLT

Let's do a check up from the neck up! Do you worry about what people think? If the answer is yes or even yes a little then perhaps you are a people pleaser.
Yesterday I had a phone call from church asking if I could help deliver meals to fire affected people. I wanted to go but knew I am responsible for a little old lady who has had a lot of issues of late, my mum.
What responsibility has the Lord given me? Caring for mum and studying and befriending neighbours. The goer in me would do more but the wise one, said "No!"
We can frustrate ourselves and others by want to help, to please and be involved. Always ask: what is my brief, then do that. Amen!
