“The fear of God is the only cure for the fear of
people.” -Craig Groeschel
Often times we can become more concerned with pleasing
people—whether pleasing on the job, pleasing at church, or pleasing our friends
and family—than pleasing the one true God. In Harriet Braiker’s book
The Disease to Please she indicates four symptoms of Pleasers: (1) a
tendency to take criticism too personally, (2) a constant fear of rejection
from those around them, (3) they have difficulty in expressing their true
feelings, (4) and they have a reluctance to say no even when it’s clear they
should. Sometimes it takes reevaluation
to remember our ultimate goal: fearing and pleasing God. Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God. I am the
Lord your God. (Leviticus 25:17)
