Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” -John14:21 When God made you, He equipped you with an array of talents and abilities that are uniquely yours. Its up to you to discover those talents and to use them, but sometimes the world will encourage you to do otherwise. At times, society will attempt to cubbyhole you, to standardize you, and to make you fit into a particular, preformed mold. Perhaps God has other plans. Sometimes, because youre an imperfect human being, you may become so wrapped up in meeting societys expectations that you fail to focus on Gods expectations. To do so is a mistake of major proportions—dont make it. Instead, seek Gods guidance as you focus your energies on becoming the best you that you can possibly be. And, when it becomes to matters of conscience, seek approval not from your peers, but from your Creator. Whom will you try to please today: God or man? Your primary obligation is not to please imperfect men and women. Your obligation is to strive diligently to meet the expectations of an all-knowing and perfect God. Trust Him always. Love Him always. Praise Him always. And seek to please Him. Always.
