Salvation by Grace Through Faith

People-pleasing has been a part of me as long as I can remember, no matter the amount of sanctification and satisfying work of Christ in my life. I continually feel pulled towards an unhealthy desire of making others happy and gaining their approval. I do not know where this comes

God’s Word Proves True
