My Goal is to Please God and Not People

Pleasing people can be a trap anyone can fall into from time to time, including myself. What are my motives for the things I do and say? Hopefully it's not to win the approval of others or to please them? I must always be on my guard with this. Pleasing people can become the norm if you're not alert. I can't forget that every word I speak and everything I do must be done for the Lord. Not to win His approval, but because He's the One I live for. Doing things to please others or to win their approval can be a heavy load to bear, as well as a dangerous one. Before you know it, your focus can be on pleasing others more than on pleasing the Lord. Something else to remember is that when it comes to people, there will always be those that you will never satisfy or please, regardless of what you do. What a burden to bear, that will never be accomplished. I'm done with people pleasing and now my focus is on pleasing the One who loves me so much that He chose to die for me :)
