Instead of focusing on what others want me to say and do, I need to simply ask myself, "What would Jesus say or do?"
Then I need to listen for God's answer in my heart.
My motives need to shift from people-pleasing to God-pleasing. What would serve God? What do I feel in my heart is right?
The Holy Spirit dwells within me and I need only tune into his urging.
As the song says, "Come Holy Ghost, Creator Blest, and in our hearts take up thy rest."
Very well stated! Very TRUE also! ZOOK
