Does it matter what other people think of you?
June 4, 2025

Does it matter what other people think of you? Let’s be honest “YES” it sort of does. Why, because we want others to approve of us—we have wanted this since we were young. So, when someone doesn’t approve of us or doesn’t like us it bothers us. The other side to this is if we are doing the right thing, if we are honest and do all things with integrity and if we truly live the Christian life then we need not worry what others think. All we need to do is answer to God. For the only approval we really need is from God. Galatians 1:10 says, “Am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God?” 2 Timothy 2:15 tells us, “Do your best to present yourself to God for his approval; be a worker who is not ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.” Proverbs 11:3 reads, “The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.” So, whose approval do you seek? It is something to think about. God Bless. Amen.
