“They loved the praise of men.” ~John 12:43

What a self-destructive love. One driven by performance you can’t keep up. Based on appearances that fizzle in trouble, personal gain you can’t take with you. A love without a future, devoid of any comfort, like a child without its mother.

Which is more valuable to you…the world’s approval or the Lord’s delight? Whichever we choose we undoubtedly discover, the first is fickle the last is steadfast.

How is God speaking to you?
