Questions are plagueing my thoughts. Shall I be content not pleasing people? Where does critisim become tearing down a brother or sister in Christ? Is it wrong to feel hurt when failing according to another's standards? Can I truely view myself in Christ's image, when I feel inadequate compared to others view of me?
Perspective reversal. I must do a 180. If have given my best, all I am able to give, and done it with the intention of praising God, I can do no more. My work is sucsessful if it glorify's Him, not if it is perfect according to another.
People pleaser? People downer. Lord help me.

I think I'm going to write down your last two sentences and put them up on my wall.
Thanks Beth =)
