Breaking The Chains of Bondage
(People pleasing, approval addict)
(People pleasing, approval addict)
In the past, I used to be a people pleaser. I was an approval addict. When I experienced disapproval, I became unhappy. I realize now that my past abuse, turned inward, made me think that something was wrong with me. Since that time, I used my experiences and how people responded to me as a mirror of myself. No wonder why I was chained to unhappiness. I surrender all to the Lord. I surrender suffering and pain of others to the Lord. I can only fix me by the Grace of God. I can only help others to fix themselves by the Grace of God.
I cannot fix anyone but me. My approval comes from within through the voice of God. No more mirroring others. Gone are the chains of bondage.
Bye bye chains.
Bye bye fear. . . . . bye bye chains.
I have learned to trust again. I have learned to trust my own judgement, and in so doing, I have learned to trust others. People do not frighten me like they used to long ago. There was a time when I was afraid of my own shadow. God's healing hand has pulled me out of my hiding place and I have found that I genuinely like and care about people. I am not afraid to approach people; however, I do approach them with caution. There is a difference between caution and fear. Fear is a chain that prevents growth. Caution allows for growth.
I have learned to trust my intuition. Intuition, I beleive, is the voice of God. My intuition is accurate as is God.
