Sweet friend, That's a good one! What about this Pauline challenge: If I'm still focused on pleasing PEOPLE, I cannot be GOD'S servant. (Galatians 1:10). If I still seek MY own glory, I'm not really that serious about seeking the FATHER'S glory. My food is pleasing HIM. Indeed, when I do right, I can EXPECT people to misunderstand me, just like what happened to Jesus. If HE was persecuted, who am I to expect less than that? Jesus said, BEWARE when all men speak wonderful things about you! Thus were FALSE prophets treated before! If you are a TRUE prophet, more often than not, you will be reviled, mocked, hated, for Christ's name's sake. That's Carina Paula's epiphany anyway.
