An easy one is someone who's always saying "Yes" more than they are saying, " No"
This was me for many years. I never said ,"No." Tracy can you do this for me?" Tracy do you have this or that?"
All these responses of "Yes" has only left me, mad, angry and more beating up of myself. "I should've said this or I should've said that." Never ending of mental emotional pain.
Let me tell you something people, . God does not mind us doing for others, in fact he encourages us to do so; that it's better to give than to receive.
However, when we are still battling unsettled issues inside of ourselves, it creates a real problem for us to be keeping our human scale at an even balance.
For it will only keep us unhealthy and very sick, mentally. Trying to keep other people happy and pleased with us, when we are not even pleased with ourselves.
And people pleasing is never the solutions to helping with anything, even the people you are trying to please; are still not pleased with you. For no one you can never please anyone enough, so right there, you are still at a disadvantage, and honestly ; this is not God's design for your life.
Therefore, ask God to show you why you are in this mode of thinking, that you can actually begin trying to please people. Maybe something or someone was very dominant and always in control, that made you feel afraid to stand up for yourself. You must face this Goliath.
Fear is a real emotion, and I understand it quite well. But the love of Jesus drives out fear. And right now our souls are crying out to be free.
