Galatians 1:10

10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

We all like it when people like us. We like hearing a mentor or parent say we did a good job. We like people liking and sharing our social media posts to the point of addiction in some cases.

But those are all temporary. The person who seems to like you might secretly hold a grudge. The person who said good job today might be disappointed in the job you do tomorrow. And the person who liked your post probably won't remember it in five minutes.

That is why the Bible says that we should seek God's approval and not man's. People's opinions can be easily swayed. God's love for us is eternal. It never changes. Our goal shouldn't be to please people. It should be to please God.
