In this powerful message, we explore the 'disease to please' and how it affects our spiritual lives. We're reminded that it's impossible to be both a people-pleaser and a God-pleaser simultaneously. The story of Jesus in John 2:23-25 illustrates how He refused to entrust Himself to people's expectations, knowing mankind's nature. We're challenged to examine our priorities and recognize that people-pleasing often stems from an orphan spirit seeking validation. By knowing our role, guarding it, and fearing God rather than man, we can break free from the anxiety and exhaustion of constantly trying to impress others. The message encourages us to find our worth in God's approval, not in meeting ever-changing human standards.
