From Personal Experience...

This week i was having issues in a relationship where i was so worried of upsetting the other person but knew that if i were to make that person happy, it would mean compromising my faith.

Quite stressful.

For a lot of my life, i have been pulled down, almost suffocated by worry... mostly worrying about what other people think of me, of other people not accepting me.

God spoke into my spirit after my little situation this week.... it was almost like he was saying, "Who do you want to impress more... your friend? or me?"

That just put everything into perspective.

Why worry about what others think? Why do we do the things we do? do we do it to impress those around us? or are we motivated by impressing our heavenly father? Are we motivated by HIS WILL?

I look at the whole situation very differently now. I refuse to let this overcome me. I REFUSE to stand on rocky grounds just to keep other humans happy... I want to be living to please my God in EVERYTHING I do, not compromising for the sake of those around me.

Hope that helps...
