That’s ME! This discussion is exactly what I need. I need to remember to be a JESUS Pleaser above all else! When I do that First, others will see that in me. Representing Christ to a lost world. Even Jesus took care of himself. It’s Not either or, but both and. Yes, I AM an introvert and limit my exposure to social media for my mental benefit. Ty FOTF!! ❤️

Everyone needs to read the book "Boundaries". It's a Christian book and it really helped me rethink my people pleasing. I'm a lot more confident and when I do something it's not out of a sense of guilt or obligation anymore.

Expressing that I am furious in a calm way with words is such an excellent idea!

I have been praying for my identity in Christ and i have had so much spiritual warfare the past 2 years since being baptized by the spirit and this shook me. I have to give up my filthy rags and trust in him. My old armor that i used to survive in the world He wants me to lay at his feet and put on his. I am a coward and all i hear is his voice "be strong and courageous"

Thank you for sharing this information. I need this book. Never really knew how to process these thoughts. Slowing down and choose a response is powerful.

I don't people please I focus on my needs first then I help some people when I can..but there's a limit to what I'll do for others.. there's give and take.. I'd like to hear the speaker more..

Anyone can soar like an eagle
even a turtle
it’s the imagery ( humans cannot fly)

It actually goes back to a “root” of insecurity, which goes back to the “root”, fear of death. Jesus came to free us from this kind of “oppression”, where His death portrayed in Romans 6, and the “wages of sin is death”, the sin, being that we are putting our need for man’s approval, before God’s command to put Him, and THEN others next. When our priorities are wrong, our lives will be ruled by the wrong desires.

I could not control my anger I called my 22 a monster and I was really feeling abandonned m her estranged iam a great suffering my daughter did not wish me a happy Mother’s Day so I blocked her but I was so angry I have written her letter explaining how I felt that she was my beloved daughter that I was going to change because I love her children cut ties from us because they want to see a change they feel betrayed so in my letter I said what you did was wrong it angered me but I forgive you and you need to forgive me to live in peace and reconcile with me .I also ask her to find the time and the moment to read my letter I hope it will get through her and change the way she thinks about me etc amen
