"How can you believe, when you accept praise from one another and do not seek the praise that comes from the only God?" - John 5:44
The world today measures us in so many ways
Grades. Proficiency in sports. Awards. Positions. ...
that we tend to forget what measure is most important in our lives:
How much do you love the God who is your purpose, your destination and your guide in life?

Something to remember 9
"If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you."
- John 15:19
How can the world show its hate for you?
It hates the faithful - those whom it has labeled irrational for believing in a God who cannot be comprehended by the human mind.
It hates the righteous - those whom it sees as stupid for following the rules when no one can catch you break them.
It hates the generous - those whom it cannot understand because everything in the world has a price.
It hates the hopeful - those whom it marked as extreme optimists who deny the realities of the world.
Remain faithful, righteous, generous and hopeful. Remain in love with God. Because you do not belong to the world but rather you belong to God.
