Praise from People

We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority. — I Thessalonians 2:7 

I often look for praise from people.

I am really pleased when they tell me what a great job I'm doing.

Even though God asks us not to look for praise, I can't resist.

Paul truly was not looking for praise from people.

As an apostle of Christ, he certainly could have asked for praise.

But when people praised him, he gave the glory to God.

Lord, please help me to do the same.
