Everyone has a certain person in their life that they just can't seem to please. Nothing you do is right, your opinion is wrong, you're career choice is wrong, you're dating the wrong person ect the list could go on forever. I've had the misfortune of dealing with lots of people like this through out my life and unfortunately I still have to deal with a few. I got to thinking about this topic "pleasing people" and wanted to know what GOD had to say about it and I found this verse.
Galations 1:10
For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.
This verse tells me everything I wanted to know, that the only person we should worry about pleasing is GOD because HIS judgement is the only one that matters.
It's so easy to get mad at people for looking at your life and then picking you apart. It's not right, it's hurtful and I personally feel violated when it happens to me. It's one thing for someone to suggest something to you, but to just pick you apart like you don't have feelings is just mean and cruel. I guess I'll never understand why they do it or what kind of thrill they get out of it. I do know one thing, their day of judgement will come and will be sorry. I guess it's just time for me to pray for patience and as the saying goes hate the sin and love the sinner.
