“For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts.” v.4 (NLT)
Everyone want’s to be liked!!!! However, we have to stand for what is right even if we know it may be unpopular by others. This is where tension is created. We want to honor God, but we don’t want to offend our friends. So many times we are caught in the middle.
These are defining moments that we either allow others opinions keep us trapped from the things that God want to do in our life, or we risk it all, trusting the details to God and share the truth in love by our words and actions. It is a tough place to be but it’s also where we get to see God do amazing things in us.
Today, will you be trapped by fear of what others might think, or step out in faith and see how God grows you and uses you?
