“But if you’re treated badly for good behavior and continue in spite of it to be a good servant, that is what counts with God,” (1st Peter 2.20).
Our service to God is ultimately for God alone. We play to an audience of One. It’s Him we must please. Him alone. Those who make it their ambition to please men fall into a trap.
“The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe,” (Proverbs 29.25).
People pleasers can never perform to the level of people’s expectations and are left disappointed and bitter. Your service to God stands alone without regard for human approval.
