Naturally, many a time, man looks at outward appearances to draw conclusions, whereas our Lord, looks inwardly, beneath the surface. (John 7:24).
Not everything in life is of equal unit, Most times, we focus on things that are not very important.
Don't live with the intention of proving anything to anyone, You are not here for popularity sake, but you are here on a mission(To please the one who sent you).
(John 7:16).
Your popularity does not really matter, what matters is what heaven says about you.
The way we access things, we need to make sure it aligns with God's approval.
It doesn't matter where we are coming from, what matters is where we are going.
We find it difficult to understand why we are here, Jesus knew why He was here. Focus on your vision, Don't be discouraged by people's action towards you. Fulfill why you are here ,Jesus fulfilled His purpose why he was here. (focus on yours and fulfill it).
