We lose ourselves to the strongholds of people’s entitlement to how we should live our lives, how they should treat us and what they want your life to be… and that may to some degree dishonor God as well as the needs we need to be paying attention to and fulfilling. There are layers of customs that we’ve inherited, some are influences of modern day culture while others come from a place of fear and a need for validation.. and all the while we neglect the rhythm of our life, the purpose over our lives and what the spirit needs to go for or avoid at a point in time. This unfortunately results in us pleasing others. Accept that your responsibility and accountability is to your God-purposed life and not others’.
