Galatians 1: 10 Does this sound as if I am trying to win human approval? No indeed! What I want is God's approval! Am I trying to be popular with people? If I were still trying to do so, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Paul is introducing himself in the first chapter of this letter. He cites his background and experience before he was saved. He gives all the credit for his faith to God. And he asserts that others who are trying to change the message are not driven by God.
I'm with Paul in these thoughts. I'm adjusting to a new reality. My family has been e everything to me. Ron needs me, and so does Elaine. That's it. I'm not an important part of anyone else's life. I need to adjust my thinking to that. The good news is that I am free from the need to please them. I can focus on pleasing God.
Prayer: Lord, show me how to rearrange my life to better serve and please You. Don't let me become bitter or depressed. Help me to fulfill the plan You have for me.
Amen
