We live in a world where self esteem has become such a focus. When people criticize us it hurts our self-esteem. When people praise us it builds our self-esteem. What’s the root of all this? I think it is due to a LACK OF HUMILITY!
Humility means it is more important what God thinks instead of what men think. We are more concerned with receiving glory from one another than we are from God. When we want glory from one another I believe God calls that PRIDE.
Nothing can cure you of the desire to acceptance of men or the hurt and pain that comes when acceptance isn’t given except when the ONLY THING that is important is receiving the glory from God.
I believe that’s why it is said about Jesus is that He made himself of NO REPUTATION.
What’s more important to you..your reputation with men or your reputation with God?
