Can't Please Everyone
There's no way you can please everyone and make them happy.
I have good intentions, but sometimes in carrying them out, I stumble and mess up. With my limited wisdom, I do what I think is best, but it's not - or at least, not according to those around me. And what happens? I get to take the fall.
Then there are times when people misconstrue the things I do, and color it according to their own (wrong) interpretations...and guess what? I take the fall again.
I get so sick of people gossiping about me, talking about me, poking their long noses into my business when it's not welcome in the first place. And the reason they're so curious about what goes on in my life is not because of any love for me, but because they're plain busybodies.
Sickening, that's what they are.....if I let them get to me, that is.
Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. - Galatians 1:10
...We are not trying to please men but God, who tests our hearts. - 1 Thessalonians 2:4
Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe. - Proverbs 29:25
So, just keep trusting in God and stick close to Him.
