1 Corinthians‬ ‭4:3‬ ‭NLT‬‬ As for me, it matters very little how I might be evaluated by you or by any human authority. I don’t even trust my own judgment on this point.

Some people have the tendency to be concerned about what people think about them. They change their hair, go into debt to keep up with an image, get implants, or run themselves ragged all because they want people to think well of them.

This is an insecurity. We shouldn’t be concerned about what people think about us. Their opinion about us doesn’t matter. If God didn’t instruct us to do something like, buy a car or go out our way for someone else, we shouldn’t do it. Now, there’s nothing wrong with buying a car or doing nice things, but if our motivation is to make people think well of us, that’s wrong.

We should only want to please God. A relationship with Him through Jesus Christ makes Him happy. And since He’s happy with us, that’s all that matters.
