v4b: We are not trying to please men but God, who tests our hearts.
v6a: We were not looking for praise from men, not from you or anyone else.
I love these first 2 chapters of 1 Thessalonians b/c they provide so many great "gems" of encouragement and examples of how to live and minister to others. However, we're speeding thru it... but the words that stood out to me and cut to my heart were these. I know I struggle with this a lot; looking for approval or praise from others instead of being satisfied with just pleasing God. It seems my constant prayer is for God to give me or teach me to have a humble heart. All I can do is keep praying this prayer and staying rooted in His word with the hope that He will transform me and my heart. God, please give me a humble heart.
