“…even
so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.” 1 Thess 2:4
Let
God make a servant out of you rather than man making a leader out of you. Paul
didn’t speak to gain man’s attention, but to get their attention. He spoke with
the love and gentleness of an affectionate mother (vs 8). Don’t speak in search of favorable opinion;
you’re not asked to impress man, but to encourage them in the love of Christ. Those
who get mad at the truth are those who are living a lie; God’s word is not to
help people feel better about their brokenness, but to show them how to be
whole in Christ. Better for truth to cause a tear than a lie to cause a
smile.
You’ll
be better served having God approve, than the world applaud.
