Joy. Jesus Others You. Sounds simple right? Well... it should be. But for some reason I get the letters mixed up. I always tend to focus on pleasing others... meeting their needs. When I see someone hurting I begin hurting for them. When I see someone with a problem I want more than anything to fix it for them. Then I begin focusing on myself. I begin thinking of ways to please others so that I look "good." I am a people pleaser. Not that there is anything wrong with being a people pleaser but I have allowed it to consume me. I get so wrapped up in pleasing others that I put Christ on the back burner. Others don't suffer... I do. In the end I am putting myself first. Y-O-J. I am living a backwards life...
How do I change this? Before anything else... I need to put Jesus first. I need to let Him lead the way. Sometimes this can be so hard... but so rewarding.
