You can't please everybody


Have you realized that there are some people you can't please? No matter what you do or what you try or how nice you are to them. You just can't please everybody. But the Bible tells says you don't need to please everybody. "It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you." (Proverbs 29:25 LB) It is an emotional trap when you start worrying about what other people think. Jesus said, "I only seek to please Him who sent me." (John 5:30 LB) Even Jesus didn't try to please everybody. One person wants it to rain; another doesn't want it to rain. Even God can't please everybody. Only a fool would try to do what even God can't do. I meet Christians all the time who live with someone who makes life crazy. They say, "I try and try to make peace with this person, but I fail and I feel so guilty." The fact is, it may not be your fault. It may be the person you're trying to make peace with is just flat out difficult. Give that person to God and then focus on pleasing God.


“Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭29:25‬ ‭NLT‬‬
