I can not do anything by myself. As I hear, I judge: and my dish is just, for I seek not mine own will but the will of him who sent me.
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true Another is the one who bears witness of me;. And I know that the testimony is true, which he testify of me.
John 5, 30-32
We feel better if we all agree. However, we could save ourselves a lot of unnecessary bending, if we just satisfied with God are OK.
If you are ever in the "I want to do-it-all-right-trap" tapped? Why does this happen to us? After all, not even God can please everybody. For example, there is the farmer, the God for rain for his fields calls while on the same day the head of the youth group for this group fervently pray that during the tent camp just does not rain. Or leaves the enthusiastic collector of us who have a long, hearty autumn with all its magnificent Colors and leaves pray, while the allergic person first refreezing can not yearn fast enough. The old man next door, who is hoping for his heart problems to a mild blast without snow - his grandson, but pray for snow, so he does not need to school. Examples are enough. So if God does not even can satisfy each according to his wishes, it should not surprise us because when we not be able to? Only a fool would believe that one hinbekommt that.
So if you should now try to please? Family members, the more time you want to spend? The boss who wants more time from you, then you spend your office or on the street? The shareholders of your company or clients? Your success or your conscience?
here Maybe we should all look at how Jesus behaved. He gave his life in balance by giving the one, the highest honor the commitment. The highest supervisor. His only boss was God. For him only a sat in the audience, and before whom he wanted to please all m others and, above all n Ander en .
* If the first question to ask yourself is: "What God wants from me in my situation?" - Then your focus will automatically align properly.
* If you are, regardless of the pressure that may come from outside, or what is considered "politically correct", decide to do the right thing, it shows that their moral commitment decision for you is selfish as rivaling Interests. do
* If you are what God wants from you, it does not matter what others think.
I am fully aware that this rule of thumb, not every case of a problem simply dissolves. But it shows the direction we should turn to our lives to live well . And it solves more cases than we are perhaps willing to admit. And it frees you from the compulsion to seek first-ever approval of others. A penalty that can destroy your life and ultimately dominate.
Jesus did not panic at the thought of being able to be rejected by others. This was because he knew that he a "public" was used, consisting of just one person.
the end it is God - and God - you want to hear them say: "Well done". His opinion is the only one that counts. If you are so conscious about whose approval you want to catch today?
