Don’t live your life trying to please people. For the likelihood of someone being unpleased is always there. Though if we live our life to please God, we can have the assurance that no matter what some people think, God is pleased. It is His opinion and judgement that matters, not the world’s. May we stop caring so much on the opinions of others and focus on the opinion of God. For when we live our life to please God, it is there where we can find true peace, knowing, we are living for God and not this world. For this life will someday pass, but life with God is eternal. I’d rather live for God with eternity in mind, than live for a temporary world.

Matthew 5:11-12 NIV

“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
