Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
As for those who seemed to be important—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not judge by external appearance—those men added nothing to my message.
These words stuck out to me b/c I know I always struggle with looking for approval from others instead of looking to God. I often fall into that trap of looking for recognition for the things I've done instead of being content with knowing that I had done what God called me to do. I think I feel like I deserve some kind of prize for doing what God wants, but in reality God deserves and desires my heart to be that of a servant. I pray that I may work and serve to please God instead of man...God please help me to have a humble heart.
