You will have more peace when you realize that as a Christian your job isn’t to make anyone happy because you can’t. Jesus can.

Hosea 10:12

If you plant goodness, you will harvest faithful love. Plow your ground, and you will harvest with the Lord. He will come, and he will make goodness fall on you like rain.

God taught me this through tears, pain, arguments and sleepless nights. Crack open proverbs and you'll discover how to be kind and generous whilst still maintaining your character.

People will take you for a fool if you try to be nice to everyone. In this life you need to learn to put your foot down and be decisive about the things you won't tolerate in your life, regardless of who likes it or not. Trying to be a people pleaser will only leave you drained and taken advantage of. Once you uphold an image of someone of malliable character it's much easier for others to expect certain things from you without having in consideration your integrity and beliefs, to treat you any kind of way they desire and take advantage of your weak demeanor. Trying to people please is peasant behavior, you don't owe such treatment to anyone who doesn't deserve it, don't lower yourself to that. To hell what they think of you, they aren't paying your rent or bills.

He Will Complete It

Is there something you’ve been believing for, something you’ve been hoping for that’s taking longer than you expected? You might be tempted to just accept things the way they are. You might be tempted to think it’s never going to happen. If that’s you today, be encouraged because God is a finisher! He will complete what He’s started in you! Your part is to believe. Your part is to keep your eyes on Him. When you believe, you have the Creator of the universe fighting your battles, arranging things in your favor, going before you, moving the wrong people out of the way. Don’t be intimidated by the size of a problem or the size of your dream! Don’t let circumstances convince you to stop believing. “Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our Provider, is still on the throne. One touch of God’s favor and you’ll go from barely getting by to having more than enough! Begin to thank Him and declare that God is at work. Declare that He is perfecting what concerns you. Declare that He will complete everything He’s started in your life!
