If I Still Pleased Men
For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ (Galatians 1:10 NKJV)
What a wonder it is
To rise above
The approval of men
To rest in
And to desire
The approval of God
The true mark of deadness
To the flesh
Is when we
Stop being men pleasers
And become God pleasers
Those who strive to please men
Are not pleasing God
They are pleasing themselves
And their ego
With the comfort
And satisfaction
That comes from the
Admiration and approval of men
We must search within us
To constantly evaluate
Whom we are pleading
Men or God
May we reject the pleasures
And ways of the world
In order to rest
In the arms
Of God’s love
Amen
