People usually seek the approval of others, and this is why they seek to please others.
People who seek the approval of others often fall into the pattern of being "people pleasers." Whenever you seek to please others just to gain their approval, you are in pride. Pride is always self-seeking.
I want you to seek to please Me, but never seek to please Me to gain My approval. I already approve of you. I see you perfect and complete in Me. I gave My life to purchase you both eternal forgiveness and eternal approval.
If you want to please Me, allow My presence within you to be demonstrated to others by acts of faith. Without faith, it is impossible to please Me. Have complete faith in Me, and recognize that without Me you can do nothing. In Me you live and move and have your being.
