Opinions of Man

When the church is planning the next mission trip, know that you are already committed to yours.

But also know that you will go unnoticed.



When others hoard their earnings, know that you give much away.

But also know that it will be unappreciated.



When you feel selfish because you don't serve more, know that you just need a rest from all the serving you already do.

But also know that you may be judged.



When what you do is unconventional, know that it is in God's will because it serves God's purpose.

But also know that you will be falsely accused and mocked.



When you are drained from trying so hard, know that God is pleased with your effort.

But also know that man will only see your failure.



When you care for others you are reflecting the heart of God,

But also know that man will pervert it.



When you feel unnoticed, underappreciated, judged, falsely accused and mocked. When you feel like a failure and that no matter what good you do, man will only turn it into something perverse, know that it is not the opinions of man that matter.

The only opinion that matters is that of God.

And, it is His opinion that I was worth dying for.
