"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."
Galatians 1:10 "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." I'm sure this scripture probably hit home with some people. It, for one, hit me when I read it. I definitely used to be one of those people that aimed to be everyone's friend and make sure everyone around me is happy, and at the mercy of my joy. I realized that when I made everyone else happy, I didn't have joy and ultimately, God wasn't getting the glory out of my life. I'm so grateful that God opened my eyes and guided back on the right path. Sometimes we have to do a self-check and make sure our heart and mind is where it should be. If it's on Christ, keep it there. If it's not, get it there. I'm not saying to not care about anyone else's opinions or feelings toward you, but simply saying that Christ's is more important. As Christians, we should ultimately be concerned with how God views us and our lives. Are you living to please God? Or are you living to please men? I guarantee you, living for God and getting approval from Him is all that matters, and it heeds a peaceful and joyous life.

"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12 In this scripture, Peter is talking about Jesus Christ. Jesus had just healed a man who had been lame for years. Peter is stressing the importance who salvation is found in. We need to know and do the same. To get to God, you have to go through his Son. Don't let others deter you from what you know to be true. Salvation is only found in Christ Jesus, and in Him alone. Choose Him. Don't wait until it's too late. Jesus Christ loves each and every one of you and there is nothing you can do to separate yourself from the love of Christ.
Luke 7:47 "Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven--as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little." Forgiveness is a hard thing to do, but if Jesus Christ could forgive us, we can definitely learn to forgive others. In this scripture, Jesus forgave a woman that had been living a sinful life for years. He told her to go and sin no more. In that moment she saw the love of Christ, and that is what we need to show as Christians. No matter what someone did to you or said to you, forgiveness will set your heart free and allow you to receive the blessings God has for you. If you can forgive more, you can love more.Proverbs 3:26 "Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the LORD will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared." As Christians, so many things go on around us and it seems as if things are caving in on us. But fear not, for God will protect us and keep us from hurt, harm and danger. When disaster is everywhere, God has our back and protecting us on all sides. He will keep us from being snared and snatched up by the enemy. This world is getting more and more wicked and we can only be saved by God, through Christ Jesus. Have faith that God knows and God cares. The Lord is on our side!
