S: Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
O: * you can't please God and man
* If you choose to please man, you can't be a servant of God.
* Approval of man contradicts being a servant of God
A: When I do things, I must check my motives. Am I doing it to be recognized, or am I trying to serve God? I cannot serve God and please man. It just does not work that way. But in the midst I must honor God.
P: God, You are the only One I want to please. May I not worry so much about what others think or about trying t please them. God, I am Your servant first, above all else.
