Praise is honor. <\/p>
\nPraise is fame.
\n
\nWe receive praise by our actions, achievements and talents. <\/p>\n
We tend to seek approval from people that we admire, respect and love. We create our own expectations when we give or do something for someone. We subconsciously seek acceptance due to our selfishness act and even seek to boost our self-esteem. Without realizing it we expect something in return. <\/p>\n
When famous people do something or behave a certain way and are rejected, even if they deserved it, they isolate themselves from the world because they feel misunderstood.
\nIt is no different with us. We are not famous like the stars of Hollywood, but we often seek to be “famous” when we relentlessly pursuit the approval of those around us. <\/p>\n
Especially, when it comes to those that don’t give us the importance we think we deserve.<\/p>\n
When this happens a “war” breaks out inside of us.<\/p>\n
Negative thoughts form, and also feelings of inferiority that result in evil eyes. And the consequences are drastic.
\nReactions are unmeasured.<\/p>\n
People are insecure because they seek recognition in return for what they think they deserve. Their expectations of others are not met and as a result it creates: Jealousy, envy, evil eyes, and judging. Which of course creates a great distance between them and the other person.
\nThis is all because of a bad feeling that is led by another.<\/p>\n
What is the reason for this?<\/p>\n
What\u2019s the point?<\/p>\n
Nothing! But it seems that vengeance is the answer. Whether, it\u2019s by treating them badly or by saying bad things about them.
\nIt’s so hard to see this!<\/p>\n
But that’s what happens when someone is more concerned about what others think of him or her instead of what God thinks of them.
\nSee how destructive it is. It consumes all your moral values.<\/p>\n
Their faith in God or in the name of Jesus isn\u2019t present when these feelings take over them, unless they compare what they are feeling to the Word of God.
\nOnly then do they think and reject the incoming attacks and their belief dominates their feelings.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, this is so common in human beings; only those who know God can use their reason and their faith in obedience to the Word of God to overcome the attacks and thoughts the devil bombards us with.<\/p>\n
What is your choice? Will you follow your destructive impulses, or the faith that leads you to inner freedom????
