I came to the realization that I try to be a people pleaser. There is nothing wrong with being nice to people, but you don't have to try to make everyone happy. It is really hard to change, after all this is kinda who I am. I guess i just need to work on my relationship with God and only be concerned with pleasing Him. Sometimes guilt has played a role in being a people pleaser, but when I really stop and think about it what I feel guilty about is out of my control.
You can't always make your children, spouse, friends, etc. happy, so why bother? When you are walking in God's love everything else will work out. You can't change people or how they feel about you, but you can love them like Jesus does. How they react to you is totally up to them. I am just going to draw near to Him and trust that all other relationships with fall into place.
