The Daily Grind ☕️ - Motive Matters
There is something innate in us that wants to be liked, respected, and even revered. We want to belong. It can drive us to be ingenuous.
Paul recognized it and made it clear that he intended to resist people-pleasing tendencies to avoid any doubts about his allegiance to God.
Ask, "Do I want to be more liked than respected? Am I more focused on pleasing God or people?" Answer, and if needed, repent and realign your allegiance. - Pastor Jimmy
