Bible Question (short): Difference b/w pleasing God vs man |
Question (full): Hi all, I have a question regarding Galatians 1:10. We are not to be people pleasers, but God pleasers. I have a situation where my heart feels in the right place, but my flesh/mind are pretty arrogant. I have the opportunity to be a kidney donor to someone in need and am awaiting results to find out if I am a perfect match or not. I have prayed to God that if this is His will that I be the match, then let everything go smoothly and both I and the recepient receive speedy healings. However, my thoughts are so arrogant and are in complete contrast to what my heart is telling me. My mind wants to boast about what I am doing, which is not true because NO ONE knows except God, and now you guys. Nobody knows at work, within my family or friends that I am considering doing this. Any suggestions or bible verses to help me know that I am pleasing God and not people in this matter considering my heart is in the right place, but I am battling my thoughts? Jaci |
