People’s accolades and slights really don’t matter unless you make them matter by assimilating their value over GOD’s purpose for your life.
You were never told, nor will you ever be told “Go ye and be popular!” Your purpose is connected to humanity but not dependent upon humanity.
When you do it for the Kingdom—for the good—you humbly receive your flowers, not forgetting the Creator of those flowers and of those who gave them.
God is pleased with your faith when your life’s work speaks of it, not when your followers speak of it. Your mistakes have no bearing on your calling in Him. Be encouraged! It’s only a test!

“As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died.” Galatians 6:14, NLT
“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” Isaiah 41:10, NLT
Pray: Father, may my works be pleasing in your sight. Holy Spirit, please keep me from being prideful or dependent on the favor of humankind. May I ever be humble, even when I fail at my assignments. Lord, you are with me and your grace is more than enough for me. Amen.
I love your post! This especially reminds me that you should never boast when you help someone because it is our Savior doing his work through us! He gets the glory!
Thank you for reading Bert.☺️ Precisely! Only what we do for Christ will last. He alone will judge our works at the Bema Seat.🙏🏽
